Castle Island is located on Day Boulevard in South Boston on the Boston Harbor. It has been the site of a fortification since 1643. Castle Island was connected to the mainland by a narrow strip of land in 1928 and was no longer an island. It is 22 acres. Today Castle Island is no longer used for a fort but tours. People tour the castle everyday. Other than the castle there is a park, sailing program, and a restaurant. The restaurant is more like a fast food place called Sullivan's. It is very good and there is always a very big line. During the summer there is a sailing program which many of the local kids around the age of twelve attend. Many people like to walk around the Sugar bowl or jog to get a little exercise. People also like to fish off of the pier.Castle Island is a big part of the summer around South Boston.
