Lovells Island

Lovells Island offers remote beaches, camping, rocky shoreline walks, tidepools, ocean swimming, and views of the outer islands and Boston Light. Visitors can explore the remaining gun batteries, bunkers, and foundations of Fort Standish, including the World War II observation tower used to search for enemy ships and submarines. Two range lights on the island were among the aids to navigation that guided ships into Boston Harbor, and the Narrows, the deep natural channel between Lovells Island and Georges Island, was once the only safe passage for ships into Boston. When the tide goes out twice each day, tide pools reveal native crabs, sea stars, rock weed, and other marine life.
