Peddocks Island Main Page


The Peddocks Island Visitor Center is located at the end of the ferry dock in the former guardhouse for Fort Andrews. There is nothing inside other than an information desk and a few historical photos. Brochures are available for many of the islands within Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area.

The Visitor Center does have a modern restroom and drinking water fountain that are available to guests when the ferry is operating (mid-June through Labor Day Weekend). Peddocks is one of the few islands in the park with potable water.
