Portsmouth (18 miles north) is the best town in the Seacoast area! If you are coming from out of state, it's worth staying an extra day to stroll around and grab a meal at any restaurant here. It's epic!

Newburyport (5 miles south) is a charming, historic town that's walkable, and we admit, adorable! It's a destination New England town. There are plenty of restaurants and water views to go around!

Plum Island is a barrier island located off the northeast coast of Massachusetts, north of Cape Ann, in the United States. It is approximately 11 miles in length. The island is named for the wild beach plum shrubs that grow on its dunes, but is also famous for the purple sands at high tide, which get their color from tiny crystals of pink pyrope garnet.
