All about South Shore
For a coastal New England vacation with a side of history, there’s no place like Massachusetts’ South Shore, where quaint towns dating back to before the Revolutionary War and beach-lined suburbs fill the space between Boston and Cape Cod. Settled by the Pilgrims more than 400 years ago, the area surrounding Route 3 brims with Colonial architecture, migrating whales (and the boats that watch for them), cranberry bogs, and picture-perfect stretches of rocky coastline where you can relax, breathe in the salty air, and gaze out over the water. Most of the South Shore towns boast convenient connections to Boston, invitingly cool Atlantic waters for escaping summer heat, and wind-wisped sand for shoreline strolls, but each has its own charms. The legendary and emblematic Plymouth Rock can be found in a state park in the town of Plymouth, Hull brings people in for its famous Nantasket Beach, and birders flock to Marshfield’s wildlife sanctuaries, Daniel Webster and North River.
What are the top things to do in South Shore?
Cranberry Bogs
Watch as harvesters wade through layers of bright red baubles as they rake cranberries from flooded fields. Farms around the region are open to visitors looking to catch a glimpse of the unique and colorful way that the holiday staple makes its way to tables around the country. Pick up fresh berries in season ― mid-October through the end of the year ― or pop by for frozen or canned products anytime.
Whale Watching
Book a tour on a whale-watching boat from Plymouth during whale season, from late spring to early fall, and relish the chance to spot majestic humpback whales as they frolic just off the coast.
Nantasket Beach
Considered by many to be the South Shore’s best beach, this sandy stretch of shoreline in the town of Hull clocks in at just over a mile long. On hot weekends, it can seem like the entire Commonwealth of Boston is here. Families in particular love it for its historic carousel, playground, and evening concerts. When the tide is out, the beach turns into a hotspot for tidepooling.
