Lovells Island
Secluded beaches and abandoned fortifications will give you plenty to explore for a day trip or overnight visit.
The sprawling bright, blue Atlantic Ocean rises and falls along the beaches of Lovells Island. Granted to Charlestown during the colonial period for timber harvesting and fishing, Lovells Island is the site of many shipwrecks, including a French warship. The island was also considered as a proposed location for the Statue of Liberty.
Lovells Island is currently closed due to ongoing facility maintenance.
