Location
The Boston Fish Pier is situated at the intersection of Northern Avenue and Seaport Boulevard, just a short walk from the Boston Harbor. The pier offers stunning views of the Boston Harbor and is easily accessible by public transportation.
History
The Boston Fish Pier was built in 1910 as part of the city's ambitious plan to modernize its fishing industry. At that time, it was one of the world's largest and most advanced piers. It quickly became a hub for local fishermen, who brought in their daily catch to be sold at the bustling fish market.
Over the years, the pier has survived multiple natural disasters, including fires and hurricanes, and has played an integral role in shaping Boston's seafood industry. Today, it is a testament to the city's rich maritime history.

In addition to its rich history, Boston Fish Pier is surrounded by numerous other attractions. Stroll along the Harbor walk and enjoy views of the city skyline, or visit nearby museums such as the Institute of Contemporary Art or the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum. The pier is also just a short walk from Downtown Boston, making it the perfect stop on a day of sightseeing.
