A large salt marsh inside the city limits? Who knew? The reservation, open year-round from 9 am to dusk, preserves 152 acres of the 241-acre Belle Isle Marsh, the last remaining salt marsh in Boston. Its protected waters are a breeding ground for numerous fish and shellfish, as well as for native vegetation, and it offers a view of wildlife rarely seen in a metropolitan area. You can take a guided informational walk (well worth it) and scan the marsh, Logan Airport, and the nearby town of Winthrop from an observation tower.

Belle Isle Marsh Reservation stands as a verdant bastion, preserving 152 acres of the 241-acre Belle Isle Marsh—the last sentinel of Boston’s salt marshes. This enclave of natural wonder serves as a living museum, showcasing the lush wetlands that once graced the Massachusetts Bay shoreline in abundance. A cherished retreat for those seeking solace in nature’s embrace, the reservation beckons with its tranquil paths and the gentle symphony of avian calls. Within its 28 acres of landscaped serenity, one finds an inviting tapestry of easy hiking trails, a meandering boardwalk, and trails that invite exploration. Here, benches offer restful vantage points, picnic tables await stories and laughter, and an observation tower rises, promising panoramic views that connect sky, land, and sea in a breathtaking tableau.

Bird sanctuary just down street. Revere Beach is 1/3 mile away. Great for walking or jogging. 3 mile long beach with paved sidewalk . Also sunbathing or just relaxing. Oldest public beach in US

The marsh is home to multiple species of salt marsh plants, fish and shellfish, most rare in a metropolitan area!
