Parks in Boston

Castle Island & Fort Independence

A waterfront peninsula in South Boston anchored by the granite Fort Independence, with an easy ~2-mile paved loop around Pleasure Bay, harbor views, and planes descending into Logan Airport overhead. Sullivan's snack shack is a local institution for hot dogs and fried clams. Practical note: free guided fort tours run seasonally on weekends, and free parking lines the causeway.
