A seafood shack that's been there since 1951, a granite fort, and a flat two-mile loop around Pleasure Bay with the harbour on both sides.

The itinerary

5:00 PM

Sullivan's Castle Island

Maps

2080 William J. Day Blvd, Boston, MA

Order at the window and eat on the seawall. The line moves faster than it looks.

5:45 PM

Fort Independence, Castle Island

Maps

2080 William J. Day Blvd, Boston, MA

Walk the loop around the fort's walls. The fort itself opens Memorial Day to Columbus Day, and there are summer tours if you get there earlier in the day.

6:15 PM

Pleasure Bay loop

Maps

starting at the Castle Island parking lot, Day Blvd, Boston, MA

About two miles, flat and paved, with the causeway out in the water. Race each other to the far end of the causeway. The loser buys the next round, wherever that ends up.
