I say Massachusetts and you think Harvard, Boston Legal and, um, chowdah? BUT THAT’S HARDLY WHERE THE FUN STOPS! Massachusetts is a playground of outdoor adventure whether you’re a thrill seeking sky diver or prefer a tranquil Cape Cod bike trail. Let me dazzle you with options!

Whitewater Rafting

Have you ever done this before? Fear not! Crab Apple Whitewater is New England’s largest whitewater rafting outfitter and it’s suitable for both beginners and advanced paddlers. Get your adrenaline pumping as you twist and turn down the Deerfield River. Beautiful and thrilling!

Does sipping beer on a patio count as an outdoor adventure? YES.

From Whale’s Tail Pale Ale to the Grey Lady, Cisco Brewery’s craft style beers have been a New England favorite for years. Visit the brewery and see how these beers make it from hop to bottle. Delicious and civilized.

OMG…the BEACHES??

Wait, is this Barbados? NO! It’s Massachusetts! With 1,500 miles of coastline, there is a plethora of sandy white beaches to explore. Coast Guard Beach (ranked the number one family beach in America!), Revere Beach, Crane Beach, Chatham Lighthouse Beach, Madaket Beach in Nantucket, and so many more! Pack a picnic, grab a juicy novel, and frolic in the waves! Holy heaven, take me to the beach now!

DUNES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Imagine dunes stretching as far as you can see with wispy beach grass, dark green pine trees, and deep red beach plums nestled in hollows, all under the blue sky. Art’s Dune Tours will take you through the majestic dunes as your guide points out the “dune shacks” where famous artists and writers like Eugene O’Neill and Harry Kemp were inspired to create their art.DUNE DEAL! (Heh.)

Cape Cod Bike Trail

This is ROMANCE! Follow the Cape Cod Rail Trail, explore the beaches, pedal through small towns, and get lost in everything from roadside wildflowers to gorgeous vistas. Where do we sign up?

WHAT? There’s whale watching, too?

Did I not say that Massachusetts has it all? IT HAS IT ALL!  Magestic, breathtaking, prehistoric: Whale watching has been known to cause spiritual awakenings. Get on the boat!

Massachusetts. It’s all here.
