Product Info

The Boston Harbor Islands National and State Park is the largest recreation area in metro Boston, with an ocean of things to see, do, and discover. From yoga on the beach, hiking, summer jazz concerts, and Civil War era forts. There’s something for everyone—and it’s all just minutes away.

Take in the breathtaking, panoramic views of Boston Harbor, relax on the beach, enjoy a day of hiking, and much more.
