The boardwalk hums with salty air and rolling laughter as your surrey glides past masts and museums. You can feel the harbor tug at the ride — a constant, brisk breeze that pushes the group forward as you pass the grey hull of the USS Midway and the tall timbers of the Star of India. Seaport Village’s low storefronts and fishing piers blur into a route made for easy pedaling and repeated photo stops.
