Stay Active Outdoors this Summer in Boston!

Well, I think it’s safe to say that the gorgeous weather has finally arrived in Boston! This time of year, warmer days are something to celebrate as we peel off our winter and spring layers and soak up the sun outdoors. If you commute downtown and spend a majority of your week in a frigid office building, you know how fantastic it feels to spend your free time in the fresh air. Luckily, Boston offers us countless ways to spend the summer months outdoors enjoying the balmy temperatures. Whether you’re a lifelong resident or are new to town, these summertime activities will keep you entertained from Memorial Day to Labor Day and beyond.

Sea Kayaking

Enjoy a perspective of Boston less traveled as you paddle your way through the city. A starting point at the P&G Gillette Floating Dock gives you a spot to launch your kayak into the Fort Point Channel and you’re on your way. Head towards the outer islands of Boston Harbor and make sure to stop at Little Brewster Island or Calf Island for a leisurely walk. It’s the perfect way to escape the city for a few hours while remaining so close!

Golfing

If the hustle and bustle of city life has you yearning for a bit of peace and quiet, reserve an early morning tee time at one of Boston’s two magnificent golf courses. Golfers of all skill levels are welcome to play at George Wright Golf Course at Franklin Park and William J. Devine Golf Course in Hyde Park. From tee to green, these challenging courses have kept golfers at their peak for decades.

Sailing

Living on the water affords us the opportunity to view Boston in a new light. If you’re looking for a new hobby this season, sailing will connect you with a surprising number of like-minded individuals. There are a handful of learn-to-sail programs for adults and children in Boston that will get you on the water in no time. To get a taste of what you’re in for this summer, check out Boston Sailing Center’s Free Sailing Open House on June 29th.

Biking

Whether you’re looking to “green” your commute the office or want to sneak in some exercise on the weekends, biking is a fantastic way to get outdoors in Boston. If you have your own bike, map out a route for a sunny Saturday and plan a picnic along the way. Don’t have your own? Boston’s bikeshare system allows residents and visitors access to a regional bike system with more than 1,000 bikes to rent for just as long as you need one.

I hope the rising temperatures have you interested in emerging from your home and exploring the great outdoors in Boston. Are you thinking about selling your home in the area this spring?
