While guests at our Newbury boutique hotel Blue—Inn on the Beach love relaxing at the oceanfront property, it's also nice to have neighboring Newburyport's restaurants and nightlife nearby. After a day of relaxing on the beach, head into town for an evening of live music in Newburyport.

Plum Island, like all of our New England Lark destinations, is so cozy during the winter. The summer tourists have long gone, and while the warm weather went with them, there's still lots to do on the North Shore of Boston in the wintertime.

While the weather may be cooler on Cape Cod in the winter, we still love to visit the same areas we do in the summer to see how the landscape has changed. With rolling sand dunes, coastal wetlands, and evergreen forests, it's so nice to explore the Cape's scenery when the summer crowds have gone and maybe even with a fresh blanket of snow.

There's a lot to see and do in Salem, and touring the town on a bike can help you see it all. If you need to rent one in town, the staff at Salem Cycle can get you outfitted with a nice hybrid that will have you comfortably handling any conditions you may encounter while biking in Salem.

Guests of our boutique Kennebunkport hotel Captain Fairfield Inn visit Southern Maine to enjoy the bustling village of KPT, as it's called, and the coast's natural beauty. Getting out on the water is a great way to explore the coast and see it from a different perspective.

Newburyport has so many great places to enjoy breakfast and brunch during your visit—from high end to comfort food, these restaurants have earned a reputation for serving up the best brunch on the North Shore of Boston.
