At 43-miles, this near-continuous walking path along Boston’s shoreline is maybe just a bit more than you’ll want to tackle in a single afternoon, but that shouldn’t stop you from embarking on a more modest stroll. And because it connects over a dozen parks, a dozen museums, seven beaches, and literally hundreds of shops and restaurants, there’s plenty of opportunities to stop and take a breather.
