Coastal cities come in all shapes and sizes in New England. Some are idyllic and vacation-worthy, others rough and tumble that have seen there better days.
The photo you see above suggests a community that represents the idyllic and vacation-worthy. Located north of Boston, Mass. where the Merrimack River meets the Atlantic Ocean, this small coastal city is bathed in historic Federalist architecture and features brick buildings housing myriad appealing local shops and restaurants, as well as some charming places to stay. The brick sidewalks not only offer added old New England charm but also pave the way for an extremely walkable community.
Interesting that this historic seaport doesn’t get the crazy crowds that other New England tourist destinations experience during the summer. That works to your advantage!
Have you guessed this small coastal city yet?
It’s Newburyport, Mass.! I hope you get to visit this New England travel treasure, it’s a true gem of a place no matter what time of the year.
