Even if you do not have a boat, then you can hop on a ferry for an adventure to the Boston Harbor Islands.
Open for you to explore

This is made easy when you take a ferry that departs every hour from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. from Long Wharf at Christopher Columbus Park. If you are here on the weekend, there is also service to Lovells Island if you are adventurous enough to spend the night camping. Some of the other great islands that you can visit daily include:
Georges Island - home to Fort Warren and views of the outer harbor. You can explore the grounds of the fort on your own or take a tour.
Spectacle Island - a new addition to the park system featuring a solar-power visitor center. There are beautiful walking paths and excellent beaches for the summer months.
Lovells Island - a great place to go camping with your family on the weekends. There are beautiful beaches, woods, fields, and fortifications found here.
