One of Massachusetts’ best features is the endless beaches. It is no wonder that there are plenty of options along its coastline of 1,500 miles. While many people visit the all-time favorites of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard with lots to see and do, others prefer the roads less traveled. Families especially enjoy the calmness of Coast Guard Beach, as well as the famous Chatham Lighthouse Beach, where wild seals regularly doze in the sun just as much as the people do. If you are in the area, you should also stop by Revere Beach, where the annual Sand Sculpting Festival is held and artists from all around the world compete.
