Great New England Summer Destinations - Boston's North Shore

  • By
  • Posted

Particularly at the end of winter, we cant wait for warm sunny days on the water. We asked the brokers at LandVest about their favorite coastal spots in New England.

LANSE ROBB: THE NORTH SHORE OF BOSTON

Lanse Robb, the Director of LandVests North Shore operation has been exploring Bostons Gold Coast since he first lived here as a child. Hes not alone in loving the long sweep of shoreline from Marblehead to the long beaches that run to the New Hampshire border. Bostons wealthy families, the Roosevelts, Tafts, and Cabots have long retreated to their spectacular summer cottages to take in the ocean breeze.

Lanse knows the best spots: I love the variety: the dramatic rocky coastlines of Gloucester and Rockport, the sandy beaches in Ipswich, Gloucester, and Beverly, or the beautiful harbors like Marblehead and Manchester-by-the-Sea.

Boston's North Shore, Wingaersheek Beachfront

Wingaersheek Beach in Gloucester has the best sand on the North Shore, and is the best for walking as the beach stretches over 2 miles.

Boston's North Shore

If you want it all: a great view, private beach access, and your own deep-water dock in Manchester Harbor, Proctor Street has the entire package, combined with a beautifully updated house.
