Massachusetts:
fabulously rich in history, great cuisine, especially the seafood, a shoreline full of interesting harbours, bays, beaches and coves just made for boating and outdoor fun. Head out on to the ocean blue and you`ll be treated to the awe-inspiring sight of 50-foot, 40-ton whales breaching and spouting just 25 miles off the Massachusetts coast. But don`t take our word for it: the World Wildlife Fund named Massachusetts as one of the world`s top ten whale watching spots. The open sea can be much cooler than land, so dress warmly. Whale watch cruises operate April to October. One of the smallest states in the nation, Massachusetts has one of the largest state park systems. Wherever you go, you are always near a state park. Waterfalls, spring blossoms, log cabins, historic estates, bike paths, mountaintop vistas, sandy ocean beaches, lakeside camping, swimming, hiking, picnicking, fishing, boating - Massachusetts state parks offer all this and more. Fall is a glorious time to visit Massachusetts. The trees wear magical coats of crimson, gold, and scarlet leaves; hillsides glisten under a pale pink glaze; dry leaves crunch underfoot; and every farm stand boasts piles of fat orange pumpkins. Massachusetts` freshwater fishing venues range from the ice-cold streams of the Berkshire Hills to mighty Connecticut and Merrimack rivers. In fact, the state has more than 500 lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams stocked with more than 700,000 trout annually. We also offer some of the finest saltwater fishing in the country; party and charter boats leave from 27 ports. From the wild seacoast that beckoned Pilgrims in 1620 to the stone walls that sheltered Minutemen in 1775, Massachusetts has been the site of some of the defining moments in U.S. history. Not surprisingly, most visitors to the state go looking for things that will fulfill their vision of the nation`s colonial and Revolutionary past - Massachusetts lives up to such expectations. Its small towns remain repositories of 200-year-old homes, square-rigged sailing ships continue to bob in the harbours and fine living-history museums let travelers experience sights, sounds and activities of centuries past. With a thriving arts scene, bustling nightlife and a well-developed transportation system. Taken as a whole, it`s an enjoyable combination of what`s now and what came before. Massachusetts is a great location to enjoy some of the most diverse and beautiful scenery in the United States. You`ll find some pretty spectacular places to set your beach umbrella.
