As a lifetime resident of the North Shore I thought I'd encourage people to come and visit my small corner of the world. The North Shore is, quite literally, the towns that line the shore north of Boston. This collection of cities includes Salem,...

Cons: can only get to some of them by boat

Imagine a little island, out in the middle of nowhere that you can only get to by boat or seaplane. The ferry's that go to the big islands don't even go there. Its so quiet and undisturbed, so very peaceful.
Cuttyhunk Island is a small island a few...

Pros: Great food!
