Deals on vacations and trips to North Shore

North Shore Vacations

On a North Shore vacation, you can smell the sea breeze and wonder what life was like for colonial inhabitants, or you can visit regional landmarks and learn about historical lifestyles firsthand. With both old and new landmarks and attractions, Boston's North Shore is sure to captivate you.

Major Attractions

The North Shore region of Massachusetts is densely packed with historical buildings and the sites of noteworthy events. If you're a fan of the occult or the horror genre, you'll want to spend a day discovering Salem. The Salem Witch Trials Memorial offers information about the trials, and you can take ghost tours of the town for even more creepy stories. Maritime Gloucester is a great place to learn about the waterfront and sea creatures, but there are also lighthouses, the singing beach, multiple National Historic Sites, and dozens of museums in the area. There are so many unmissable options—including the House of Seven Gables, made famous by Nathaniel Hawthorne—that it can be hard to decide what to do first. You might want to find North Shore car rentals first thing and then focus on a small section of the North Shore each day.

Recurring Festivals and Events

Many of the towns in this area host their own festivals. The Gloucester Waterfront Festival, held in August, is a great chance to take some time off from historic sites and instead experience local crafts, music, art, and, most of all, food! And if you're visiting during October, don't miss Salem's Festival of the Dead, which offers a Halloween Ball and many other exciting activities.
