Spectacle Island, MA, is a hidden gem in Boston Harbor. To reach this tranquil haven, hop on a ferry for a short ride. Once there, enjoy hiking trails, a sandy beach, and breathtaking vistas of the city skyline. It's a must-visit for nature enthusiasts and those seeking a serene escape.
If you haven't been Spectacle Island is a lovely park with really amazing city views all over the island. There are also lovely views of the rest of the harbor islands as well from there. In the summer there is a beach and a visitor center with bathrooms. In some years a snack shack is there as well serving some basic food.
