Welcome to North of Boston

The North of Boston region is everything you want Massachusetts to be: historical, coastal and a little magical! The area’s most famous - if not infamous - city is Salem, home to the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. Experience this “Witch City” with a spellbinding reenactment of a witch trial at the Witch Dungeon Museum! The magic continues in Gloucester, the oldest seaport in the United States. Catch some rays at Good Harbor Beach, or ponder an exhibit at Rocky Neck Art Colony, the U.S.’s oldest continuously working art colony. However, a visit to North of Boston isn’t complete until you visit the “Yachting Capital of the World,” Marblehead. Visit during Marblehead Race Week and be enchanted by yacht races that draw international crowds and competitors. It’s pure magic!
