What’s better than a Summer Clambake? How about one with unbeatable sunset views, ocean breezes, and your own island escape just minutes from Downtown Boston?
Come along to our Summer Clambakes, where you’ll board a ferry at Long Wharf and, in under 30 minutes, arrive at Spectacle Island just in time for golden hour. There, you’ll dig into a classic New England clambake, complete with fresh seafood, seasonal sides, and dessert to top it all off. Shellfish not your thing? Vegan and non-shellfish meals will be available too! Spend the evening your way—walking the island’s scenic trails, relaxing on the beach, or simply soaking in the moment as the city lights flicker to life across Boston Harbor.
Thanks to our partners at Gourmet Caterers, Boston Harbor City Cruises, and Department of Conservation and Recreation for making this event possible.
