Spectacle Island

Spectacle Island is just a 20-minute boat ride from downtown Boston, but feels like a world away. Host an afternoon or evening event under the cover of a spacious tent. From the pier to picnic tables under a spacious tent, fire pits on the beach to panoramic views of Boston’s city skyline, the world is your oyster.

Georges Island

Georges Island, home of historic Fort Warren, a Civil War era fort known for its graceful granite archways, is a 45-minute boat ride from downtown Boston. Enjoy lawn games by the beach before sitting down to a seasonal feast with views of the surrounding islands and Boston Light.

Peddocks Island, a 50-min boat ride from downtown Boston, is one of the largest Islands on the harbor. It features a World War II-era Chapel, hiking trails, scenic viewpoints, and historic Fort Andrews.
