Spectacle Island is a 105-acre state park within Boston Harbor with swimmable beaches, views of the Boston skyline and hiking trails.
Prepare for a day in the sun as very few shade structures exist on the island.

Enjoy hiking around the island and to the top of North Drumlin for scenic views. Bring a picnic, fly a kite, or dip in the water.
Events on the island include summertime yoga, jazz performances, ranger guided hikes and sunset clambakes. Ferry service to the islands runs mid-May through mid-October.
