Peddocks Island, Military fort and nature reserve in Boston Harbor, United States.
The 288-acre Peddocks Island features extensive hiking trails that wind through marshes, ponds, coastal forests, and abandoned military structures.
Fort Andrews, established in 1904, served as a harbor defense installation until World War II, housing Italian prisoners who worked as paid service units.
Native American settlements preceded European farmers who began cultivating the land in 1634, establishing a long history of human presence on the island.
Visitors can access the island through seasonal ferry service from Georges Island and find camping facilities, drinking water, and restrooms on the east side.
The island consists of four separate headlands connected by natural sand and gravel bars, creating the longest shoreline in Boston Harbor.
