New England is known to be one of the prettiest regions of the US throughout all of the seasons. Whether it’s seeing the changing colors of foliage, skiing down the slopes, or enjoying a nice summer day on the beach, New England is the place to be. Since I have lived in New England my whole life, I consider myself almost spoiled to be able to enjoy all the beautiful seasons. When visiting New England there are five places that are necessary to see in order to truly experience New England.
1. Cape Cod, MA
Cape Cod is located on the tip of Massachusetts. Cape Cod is known for its beautiful beaches, but there is much more to the Cape than that. Whether you enjoy shopping, biking, or surfing there is something for everyone here. Chatham, Falmouth, and Martha’s Vineyard are the best shopping destinations in all of Cape Cod, with their main streets filled with shops it’s a great way to spend the day away from all the sun. There’s
nothing better than a nice early morning bike ride on a nice summer’s day, and the Cape Cod Rail Trail is the perfect place for it. Stretching 22 miles from Dennis to Wellfleet, it’s a fun way to spend a couple of hours. Lastly, the surf at the Cape Cod National Seashore Park is some of the best surf around.
2. Newport, R.I.
Newport is also another beach town, but is known for much more than that. The beaches and sailing in Newport are incredible and you could just spend a day itself watching the ships come in and out of the port. Another way to spend a day in Newport is to take a tour of the famous Newport mansions. Along the tour you will see some remarkable mansions including the most famous, the Breakers. If you are a tennis fan, then Newport is the place for you. Newport, R.I. is the home to the Tennis Hall of Fame. Not only can you get a tour of the hall of fame, but you can also play on the famous grass courts.
3. Stowe, VT.
Stowe is a quaint little skiing village located in the heart of Vermont. Stowe Mountain Resort is one of the top skiing resorts in all of New England. The scenery of Stowe, VT is enough of a reason just to visit this village. With a nice town center and excellent shopping there you have a great way to spend a day off the slopes, Stowe is a great place to visit.
4. Berkshire Hills, MA
Berkshire Hills is the perfect place to watch the seasons change. Since the Berkshire’s have almost a hundred lakes and acres upon acres of land for parks, golf, and other activities, this area calls for a perfect relaxing weekend. The famous Tanglewood music theater and the Norman Rockwell museum are among some of the famous attractions that draw many to this part of Massachusetts.
5. Ogunquit, ME
Ogunquit is the last stop along this tour of New England, but is certainly not one to forget. With an incredible mile walk along the coast, great food, and amazing shopping Ogunquit is a perfect summer getaway. Many come from all over in the summer to experience the feel of Ogunquit. The beaches can get a little crowded, but the crowd is worth it. Great surf and nice weather can make for a perfect day trip. One of the best parts of Ogunquit is the hidden Perkins Cove, which is a scenic way to spend a night with great food, shopping and fun.
