Sandy beaches, miles of hiking trails, camp grounds, picnic areas, a Civil War fort, lighthouses: Boston Harbor Islands put their best foot forward in the summer, making them a magical destination when the rest of Boston roasts in the late-summer sun. How do you get there? Look <\/span><\/span>here.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Check out the <\/span><\/span>Freedom Trail<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> as well as other <\/span><\/span>Boston tours and trails<\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

8. <\/span><\/span>Shakespeare in the Park<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Few things go together as well as Shakespeare and a starry night. Bring a blanket or a folding chair and you’re all set to enjoy Romeo & Juliet<\/i>, staged by the Commonwealth Shakespeare Company, near the Parkman Bandstand on Boston Common.
