| New England |
| From Gilded Age mansions lining the thoroughfares of Newport, Rhode Island to former whaling ports in Massachusetts, New England puts its history on display in picturesque ways. Mansions aside, there’s a purity and simplicity about New England sights—lighthouses casting beacons out to sea, lobster traps bobbing in the water, their catch served up in seafood shacks close to the shore, wide, unpopulated beaches, cobblestone streets, a flotilla of sailboats racing to the finish. Why Go: Unspoiled coastlines, remote beaches, historic buildings, sailing as a religion. When to Go: June-September Essential Ports: Newport, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, Sag Harbor, Block Island. Essential Experiences: Touring the Newport mansions, the U.S. version of Loire Valley chateaux, a lobster roll at The Clam Shack in Kennebunkport, Maine and a boiled lobster at Harraseeket Lunch & Lobster in South Freeport after taking a break from shopping L.L. Bean and the outlet stores, a Kobe beef and brisket burger on the wide lawn facing the Atlantic at the patrician Nantucket resort, the Wauwinet. Local favorite: Biking between the lighthouses on Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket or Cape Cod. |
