Top ways to experience Gallops Island and nearby attractions
The area
Neighbourhood: North End
Wandering around Boston’s North End can feel like being transported to Europe. Stroll down Hanover and Salem streets for the finest Italian restaurants, bakeries, cafes, and a few boutique shops. Take part in the big debate as to whether Modern Pastry or Mike’s serves a better cannoli. Before your food coma sets in, make sure to stop by historic Paul Revere’s home, and follow the Freedom Trail to Old North Church and Copp’s Hill Burying Ground. Take a rest in a cafe on Hanover street and observe the quirky, European character of the North End.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A more rustic Boston Harbor Island that needs a water taxi from George’s Island but well worth the trip.

Growing up I enjoyed stopping off at Gallops Island. It was a common spot for boaters in the harbor to anchor off of, explore and have a bbq on for the day. However the island has been closed since 2000 due to asbestos with no plans to open it again till at least 2015. Yet I have yet to see or hear of any cleanup effort so this date will probably be extended.
