Visit Castle Island and Sullivans

Sullivans

South Boston, Massachusetts 02127

Call: 617-268-5685

Act like a local with a stop to Castle Island and Sullivans, a long-time South Boston favorite for a summer snack. Visitors to Castle Island can walk or jog around the Sugar Bowl, a pathway that extends out into the bay in a crescent shape. Playgrounds, fishing and observing the 19th century fort are other options. Visitors should be sure to grab a black and white frappe, hot dog or lobster roll at Sullivans. This take-out-only restaurant has been serving up these fast and yummy favorites to locals since 1951. Note: Tours of the interior of the fort are only offered during the summer months.

See a Red Sox Game

Fenway Park

4 Yawkey Way

Boston, Massachusetts 02215

Call: 617-226-6666

No list of things to do in Boston in the spring would be complete without suggesting taking in a Red Sox game. Bostonians love their Red Sox, so whether they are winning or losing, visitors are sure to be surrounded by very vocal fans. Keep in mind that if the Sox are playing that other team from a nearby state that tickets should be purchased early. Tickets for games between these two rivals always sell out quickly.
