The Boston area has many things going for it in the summertime. Whether you like to hit the beach, go for a hike, or watch a game at Fenway, we all have our outdoor traditions. With the pandemic practice of outdoor dining still going strong, a big part of this summer will be spent enjoying meals with friends and family outside.

Additionally, Boston recently ranked No. 13 on a list of 200 cities to spend a ‘vaxcation’ this summer by LawnStarter. The list included the best cities to vacation in, based on a city’s vaccination rate as well as other factors, such as walkability, the number of attractions, and the weather.

That’s good news for tourists, but also great for Boston-area residents who get to enjoy the city all summer long.

The list of options for outdoor activities in and around the city is a long one, so we’re looking for recommendations from those who know it best: you. Tell us: What’s the best thing to do outside in the summertime?
