My first visit to Castle Island was on a cloudy wet afternoon. While the weather was typically poor, as you might expect on a January day, I could still see this was a gem of a location. I plan to come back in the spring. There are beautiful walking path, some nice beach areas, and a lovely view of Boston Harbor. there's also a good prospect of Logan airport, you can watch the planes take off and land. There is a small children's playground, bathrooms that are open in the summer season, and a snack bar as well. An ideal place to spend a beautiful day. Even in the midst of drizzle and mist I greatly enjoyed walking along the paths and appreciating the sea breeze. The Boston Korean War Memorial is also located here. It's a wonderful little Monument right on the shores of Boston Harbor. To get there you take a short walk from the parking area around the outskirts of Fort Independence, to the east side right along the water's edge.

Very clean, safe, well-maintained and free. A great place to take a brisk walk along the water for fresh ocean air and exercise! Especially if you take the long walkway across the water and the bridge to the pavillion- less crowded, lots of seating to enjoy views of the marina, islands, and boaters- very peaceful there. If you continue along the walkway it leads to an endearing war monument honoring the local soldiers and from there you can return back along the beach to Castle Island (about a 2 mile circle). To be expected this place can be busy on weekends, lots of families- and since there is only one takeout restaurant for food, the prices are not great and the lines are crazy long. Worth it to take along your own lunch, snacks, and a big tablecloth to use on the grass and/or beach.

I earnestly feel that this place is quite underrated considering how close it is to the Boston city center and the scenery that it offers. I visited it today, alone, as a little get-away from work - and at golden hour, the view was spectacular. Of course, one could argue this resembles pretty much any beach out there in North America, but I say that Castle Island has its own beauty in its own manner. There's just something serene and curiously indescribable about walking into the sunset down the boardwalk that extends about a mile or two in a crescent. Though be cautioned that strong winds are frequent here, and I regrettably had to cut my photo session short for that reason.
