The beach on Spectacle Island in Boston Harbor

In Boston Harbor a 20-minute ferry ride from downtown's Long Wharf, this 114-acre island is a public park with a marina; visitor center with changing exhibits and a timeline of the island's history; a café; five miles of walking trails; and a lifeguarded swimming beach with a snack bar and especially known for its sea glass (discarded bottle and jars tumbled by the ocean into beautiful shapes).

It's one of Tripatini member Cary Moralish's Top 5 Beach Destinations in and around Boston.
