checking out Provincetown (or “P-Town,” to locals), a fun-loving enclave on the site of the Mayflower’s landing in 1620. The town has long attracted painters, photographers, writers and poets and you can absorb its history and culture at the museums, art galleries and specialty shops clustered around lively Commercial Street.
And finally, Rhode Island, the “Ocean State”, the USA’s smallest and home to the first National Lawn Tennis Championship in 1899 and the Tennis Hall of Fame.
Newport is widely considered the sailing capital of the world and hosted the America’s Cup for over 50 years. The town is full of shops, bars and restaurants – perfect to spend a day.
During the Gilded Age, America’s wealthiest families flocked here, making the area their summertime playground. Some mansions have been preserved, protected, and opened to the public and can be viewed on one side of the spectacular 3.5-mile Cliff Walk with panoramic ocean views on the other.
New England is great to visit any time of the year with September and October the best for the fall experience in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
A journey up the east coast of Maine, across to New Hampshire and Vermont and ending with Cape Cod and Rhode Island is a perfect itinerary.
