Located approximately 48 kilometres off Cape Cod’s southern coast, Nantucket can be reached by ferries leaving Cape Cod all year long. And if you’re looking for something to wash it all down with, settle into a cup of New England Clam Chowder, a local specialty that will make your mouth water. There are art galleries, small-town museums, scrappy theatre companies, and so much postcard-worthy architecture to admire, including one of the highest concentrations of lighthouses in the world, each one a portal into Cape Cod’s past. More than 800 kilometres of coastline provide plenty of smooth white sand for sunbathing and beachcombing, while the calm waters of Cape Cod Bay and the rolling waves of the Atlantic Ocean lend themselves to all manner of waterborne activity, be it swimming, snorkelling, or sailing off to the nearby islands of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket.īut The Cape (as it’s known regionally) is more than just sand and surf. To celebrate this historic state, we gathered up the best Massachusetts Airbnb rentals and more from east to west, including oceanside cottages, woodland cabins, mountain chalets, and more for exploring the diverse terrain and charming towns Mass has to offer.Located on a 120-kilometre-long peninsula in southeastern Massachusetts, Cape Cod is one of the most beloved summer vacation spots in the United States, home to dozens of beaches, historic fishing villages, and some of the best fried clam shacks on the East Coast. On the other side of the state, the coast offers quintessential nautical New England charm, and hot spots like Provincetown, Martha's Vineyard, Cape Cod, and Salem are popular destinations for a refresh-by-the-sea. In Western Massachusetts, the rolling hills of the Berkshires are perhaps best known as a remote hub for summering New Yorkers and Bostonians, with access to mountain hiking trails, skiing, a buzzy arts culture, and some pretty solid bouldering, too.
From bordering New York to the west, and the open ocean to the east, there's no lack of things to do, people to see, and places to go-including access to arguably some of the best seafood in the US. Like any good New England state, Massachusetts offers up one main metropolitan city-Boston-and a whole lot of stunning middle-of-nowhere for outdoor adventuring.
