Spectal Island was a major disappointment. The swim area was tiny and seemed dirty. The bathrooms in the visitor center were beyond gross. There is no shade at all and it makes the trails miserable on hot days. The only fun part was the boat ride to the island.

Did not know about this until exploring Boston. It was a wonderful experience. Did a ranger guided hike filled with many interesting facts. The ferry there was enjoyable.

The last boat for the day leaves at 2:30. with horrific Boston traffic by the time we parked we made it with some time to spare but we were on the wrong side of the dock. We finally made it with 1 minute to spare. The boat crew was chatting with the ticket scanner. Well the ticket scanner wouldn’t let us on because you have to board 5 minutes before departure. No where on the website does it state this. I believe he is lying because he didn’t want to accommodate my handicap child. He said in the most condescending voice too bad try again tomorrow. Sorry my kids have school tomorrow. I have never been so angry in my life if my kids weren’t with me I would have punched his condescending behind right into Boston harbor. Too make matters worse the boat didn’t leave until almost 2:40 they could have let us on the boat. They are so short staffed they will hire anyone. There are so many better places to go. If you decide to waste your time here make sure you do so 5 minutes early

Spectacle island was such a great relaxing adventure for me and my sons ages 7 and 4. We hiked, swam, combed the beach for treasure, had ice cream and they completed an activity book to become Jr rangers (a total highlight for my 7 yr old)
There is an Ice cream and snack person (finesse hospitality) named Dante who gave us some great tips about the island and even GAVE my boys his really nice mono scope which they are obsessed with.
Nice rangers too. You should go!

when you do it by tour boat you get to see the entire Boston Harbor and also visit the Islands as well. It is a nice trip and well worth the money for the boatride..

The NP system reclaiming a garbage dump that was a glue factory before? I am not sure this was well spent Resourses in the direct path of Logan takeoff launch way? The large sums of sea glass coming out of the dump or harbor that are not to be taken from a NP seem like the minimum souvenir you should get for $25 round trip to a dump? This was almost the worst NP experience I have paid for in over sixty years. If your thinking of a beach day here go to Salem instead for a better beach and shells you can take home!

I thought this island would be nice to visit with the views of boston harbor, beach access and walking trails.
I didn't realize that this island was actually a garbage landfil turned "park". There isn't much shade on the island as most vegetation are low shrubs with lots of Blackberry bushes along the trials. The ride across the harbor would have been nice if it wasn't a cloudy and cool day . You had to wear masks at all times and socially distance. There are picnic tables throughout the island which was convenient but again, no shade. The island isn't very big and you can walk the whole island in about an hour. Beach areas on one side of island is ok and saw families with kids go into the water so I'm guessing it was warm enough and clean enough. On the positive side, it is close to boston and a nice outing if you are looking for more nature.

Due to Covid, the showers, snack bar etc are closed, but it's still worth visiting. Round trip ferry from Boston is $25. Great trails and a small beach area plus boat docks and moorings. Gorgeous views of Boston Harbor if you climb the trails. The beach area is rocky so if you have reef shoes wear them.

I have lived in the Boston area for most of my life. Never took a boat cruise to this island until recently. Being a photographer it was specatular. Particularly the view of Boston and Logan airport.

We took the ferry and visited Spectacle Island. It was a beautiful August day, and both the boat ride and the time on the islands was a welcome change from the urban hustle and bustle of Boston. We traveled with four kids - ages 5 to 11.
The beach at Spectacle is enjoyable with a beautiful view of the harbor, and we enjoyed relaxing and playing near the water.
It is rocky, though. So, If you or your kids are bent on building sandcastles, they will be disappointed in this aspect. Moreover, the water is cold. We come from a warmer clime, and we generally swim in warmer water. While I had a few brave souls in my troop, we generally found the water to be uncomfortable for swimming.
That all being said, we thoroughly enjoyed the island. It was beautiful and relaxing.

Is it known for good sea glass hunting?
Scritta in data 29 ottobre 2016
They have a workshop on sea glass during the summer, but we did not walk the beach so we cannot confirm that there is sea glass. We walked on the trails on the island. I believe the ferry stops running to Spectacle Island by the end of October

Sea glass certainly washes up there, but collecting it is forbidden by the Park Service.

Boston Harbor Now
Boston, Massachusetts
You can book a ferry on the websites: Boston Harbor Cruises or Boston Harbor Islands. Boarding is on Long Wharf North in the harbor.

There are a couple of ways.
1. Boston Harbor Ferry $17 RT
Tickets are available for purchase online or at the kiosk by the dock. The dock is near the aquarium, next to the Marriott Longwharf hotel. The ferry ride is a lovely 20 min ride
2. Take your own boat or kayak. Moorings are available, first come first served. I think the docking for private boats is under construction.

How do I get there from North Station? What is the subway stop?
Scritta in data 26 luglio 2016
Boston Harbor Now
Boston, Massachusetts
From North Station (green line), you can go to the Haymarket stop or the Government Center stop, both at 10 minutes by foot of Long Wharf North.
If you can't walk, the Aquarium stop (blue line) is just next to the boarding dock.
