Parks & Nature

A nice walk from our apartment, the Esplanade is a must-see, with gorgeous views of Cambridge and Boston, too. It's busy with people strolling and getting exercise, and sunbathing in the warmer months. Chances are good for seeing sailboats on the water in all but the coldest months.
