North of Boston MA Travel
North of Boston is made up of several areas, including the suburban cities and towns just north of the city, the picturesque North Shore area - also known as Cape Ann - and the old mill town of Lowell. It includes museums including the Peabody Essex, miles of rocky shores and beaches, a fishermen's culture in the local communities, and artists who sell their paintings of the area, along with crafts, in the shopping districts of Rockport and Gloucester.
