I spent a weekend exploring the Boston Harbor Islands and honestly, it felt like discovering a hidden pocket of calm right next to the city. I took the ferry from Long Wharf to Spectacle and Georges Islands, hiked along the trails, swam at the beach, and even caught some live jazz with the harbor as a backdrop. It's wild how peaceful it is out there considering you're just 30 minutes from downtown Boston.
If you’re into history, Georges Island has this Civil War-era fort that’s worth checking out. And for those feeling adventurous, Peddocks Island offers overnight camping and yurt stays wish I had booked ahead! Has anyone else done the full island-hopping circuit or tried the lighthouse cruise? I'd love to hear if it’s worth the $41!
