About

Coastal ward encompasses the southeastern edge of Boston, stretching from the northern tip of Dorchester Bay through the neighborhoods of Columbia Point and Harbor Point. The area is defined by its position along the water, featuring significant peninsulas and inlets that shape its geography. Much of the land here is dedicated to institutional and residential use, with large campuses situated directly on the shoreline.

The area is home to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, a distinctive concrete and glass structure set prominently on the point. Tidal marshes and restored natural areas border the developed sections, providing green space along the coast. The ward's layout is characterized by parkways and causeways that connect it to the rest of the city, emphasizing its role as a waterfront district.
