Discover the wild world of Boston Harbour Islands State Park a few miles offshore from the hustle and bustle of Boston. This group of 34 islands and peninsulas is a designated national recreation area. Whether you go swimming in an inviting inlet or explore lush hiking trails, find endless outdoor fun, all within a convenient distance of downtown Boston. Explore Fort Warren, the star-shaped fort that was built on Georges Island in the middle of the 19th century. When weather permits, go on a guided tour to learn about its history as a training centre and Civil War prison. Georges Island is also the transportation hub for shuttles departing to other islands. Tour Boston Light, one of America’s oldest light stations, located on Little Brewster Island. The United States Coast Guard light keeper will provide a tour of the charming white lighthouse that has stood since 1783\. Climb 76 steps to the top of the lighthouse to enjoy stunning panoramic views of Boston Harbour. Take a ferry to reach Boston Harbour Islands. Ferry travel is the best, and indeed, the only way to reach most of the islands. Ferries run daily between Boston and both Georges and Spectacle islands. During warm months, the ferry schedule expands to include additional departures between Hingham and Hull to six islands. All Boston Harbour Islands are open from morning until dusk in the summer. Various islands have abbreviated schedules during the spring and fall, and all of them are closed for winter. For a unique overnight experience, camp on Bumpkin, Grape, Peddocks or Lovells islands. Reserve one of the limited sites online before your visit. Although the parks don’t charge an admission fee, you are responsible for paying your ferry fare. Note that Boston Light tours charge a fee and campsites have a nightly reservation fee. Boston Harbour Islands have unique wildlife habitats and are breeding grounds for migratory birds and other marine life. To minimize environmental disruption, do not bring bikes or pets to the islands. - Top hotels in Boston Harbor Islands State Park - Top Holiday Rentals in Boston Harbor Islands State Park ![Hilton Boston Park Plaza](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/10000/4300/4215/6e9f8959_y.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=340&ch=150) ### Hilton Boston Park Plaza 50 Park Plaza Boston MA £119 19 Feb - 20 Feb includes taxes & fees Stay at this luxury hotel in Boston.
