Situated along the coast just north of Boston by the Massachusetts/New Hampshire border lies Salisbury. While a popular summertime destination, this town remains quite a hidden gem for a weekend getaway in Massachusetts. No matter the time of year, Salisbury is a beautiful place to escape to for a while.
Salisbury Beach isn’t too far north of Boston but it certainly feels a world away. With five miles of pristine sandy beaches, outdoor recreation, shops, restaurants, and attractions, it’s a hidden gem town worthy of a weekend getaway.
