The Boston Harbor Islands consist of 2 coastal peninsulas and 32 small islands, ranging in size from less than an acre to over 200 acres. Hopping a ferry to the Harbor Islands is a fun way to spend an afternoon exploring some of our city’s unsung scenery. Ferries depart from the Long Wharf on the Boston Harborwalk, which is just a ten minute drive from our boutique bed and breakfast.

The Long Wharf ferries then continue on to Georges Island, home to Fort Warren. Used as a prison during the American Civil War, Fort Warren is best known for it’s ghost legend of the “Lady in Black”. Park Rangers offer free guided tours, with tons of information about the infamous ghost and other free activities on the island. Catch a play, historic show, musical performance, or even a vintage baseball game!
