Welcome!

We’re so excited to celebrate with you on the beautiful North Shore of Boston! From charming coastal towns to the history and energy of the city, there’s so much to see and enjoy during your visit. We recommended renting a car and utilizing the MBTA to get around.

In Northshore, stroll through historic Salem, wander the seaside streets of Marblehead, or go whale watching in Gloucester and Rockport. Don’t miss fresh seafood (hello, lobster rolls!) and local ice cream shops.
