This Massachusetts Beach Town Is Perfect For A Day-Trip
We have a lot of towns in the state of Massachusetts. Some we call home and people especially my age who are not a fan of small towns because they claim there is nothing to do and they're "boring."
I totally understand, growing up in Adams for 20-plus years. But that doesn't mean I don't like a small town like Adams. I actually have some co-workers that prefer a small town over 'the big city" any day. Anyways, the point is small towns have their big advantages over a city. One of the advantages is some are just absolutely beautiful!
A small town is even more beautiful especially when its considered one of the best beach-towns in the state of Massachusetts.

Take Rockport, Massachusetts for example. Located about 40 miles from Boston. Also known as "The Other Cape" considering the fact that it is almost perfectly Parallel North of "Cape Cod."
According to New England, Neighboring Gloucester boasts two of the finest beaches on Cape Ann, Good Harbor and Wingaersheek, but you’ll want to spend most of your evening hours in Rockport.
Being that the population is just less than 7,000 according to the 2020 census, it's no surprise that Rockport is the best smallest beach town in the USA. Tourists seek getaways during the summer months and explore many of the local shops that Rockport has to offer.
