After a 3-mile stretch of South Boston beaches looking out onto Dorchester Bay, the northern tip will start to curve marking the end where the beach meets Boston Harbor. There sits historic Fort Independence offering gorgeous views and a chance to immerse yourself in a piece of history. Famous landscape architect, Frederick Law Olmstead, designed Pleasure Bay next to Castle Island in the 1800’s as a marine park “jewel” in his Emerald Necklace of green space surrounding Boston.   

Strolling around Castle Island on the Harborwalk & Causeway is a breezy way to check out Boston Harbor and the various islands within it. The Harborwalk is full of joggers, bladers, picnickers and sightseers! The Causeway circles around Pleasure Bay Itself for stellar 360 degree views. One of the unique things Castle Island and Fort Independence offer is a direct view to Boston Logan Airport, making it a fun spot to watch the planes come and go whether you’re out of a run or exploring with family! P.S. If you’re traveling with kids, Castle Island along with its family friendly beaches, also has a full playground that’s always a hit.
