The
Fort Point Channel stands center stage, linking the waterfronts
of downtown and South Boston. Easily accessible from South Station
and major highways, the Channel is also within walking distance
of major Boston attractions including Faneuil Hall, the Seaport
District, Chinatown and more.
The Channel can be reached by public transit,
boat and car.
By Pubic Transit
The Channel is easily accessible through South Station via the Red
Line, Amtrak, Commuter Line, or Bus. Upon exiting South Station
walk east one block to reach the Channel. The Number 7 bus also
stops in the Fort Point Channel area.
For more information about public transit options please visit the
MBTA website at www.mbta.com
By Water
The MBTA has created a website covering their water transportation
routes in eastern Massachusetts: http://www.mbta.com/schedules_and_maps/boats.
These services are generally inexpensive, a fun adventure for kids,
and bring you to piers just a short walk from the Channel. You can
park closer to home and not have to worry about driving or parking
in the city, too!
