- The park consists of several islands, including the prominent George's Island, home to the historic Fort Warren. Many visitors recommend a good two-day exploration to fully appreciate the islands' beauty and history.
- Access to the islands is via ferry, with various trips offered from Boston Harbor near the Aquarium. Notably, Spectacle Island and Pemberton Point are favorites among visitors for their scenic and cultural offerings.
- It's essential to plan ahead if you intend to visit multiple islands in one day. Begin your trip early to maximize your experience.
- The islands are known for their eco-friendly practices; visitors are encouraged to carry out all trash as there are minimal disposal options on the islands.
