Plymouth, MA, located in Plymouth County, is a coastal town in the greater Boston area, about 40 miles south of Boston. Founded in 1620 by the Mayflower Pilgrims, it is the oldest municipality in New England and is often called “America’s Hometown” due to its historical significance as the site of the first Thanksgiving.
Initially a hub for rope-making, fishing, and shipping, Plymouth's economy now thrives on tourism, drawn by its rich history, charming downtown, and scenic coastal views. The town also features diverse residential neighborhoods, commercial centers, and numerous beaches along Cape Cod Bay.

While Plymouth boasts an incredible number of amentities and things to do locally - we've rounded up our most beloved activities to serve as inspiration.
Those particularly interested in the downtown area of Plymouth can benefit of the close proximity of many restaurants, local shops and historical sights - such as the Mayflower II and Plymouth Rock.
Plymouth is home to a walkable jetty where individausl can take in the unfiltered sunset (or sunrise if youi're more of a morning bird) views. We love grabbing an ice cream cone from Ziggy's walking the jetty during the warm summer nights.
There are an incredible assortment of outdoor eateries in Plymouth - which draw in tourists and South Shore locals alike. Rye Tavern boasts outdoor heated igloo eating in winter months while downtown restaurants like East Bay Grille offer incredible waterfront dining.
A large sandbar just off of Long Beach, Brown's Bank is one of our favorite destinations, only accessible by boat. It boasts stunning sandy shores, gentle waves, mildly warm waters, with the joys of fishing and swimming.
We would be remiss not to highlight all of the incredible historical landmarks that Plymouth MA is renouned for nationwide - incuding Plimoth Plantation and the Mayflower II replica, which is harbored downtown during summer months. Town residents benefit from discounted admissions year long!
This experiene is one that never fatigues! The ritual of catching a ride aboard a Captain John boat for the chance to see an array of whale species such as humpback whales, finback whales, pilot whales or even the endangered right whales. These excurisions depart from Town Wharf in Plymouth.

Plymouth has a handful of standout breweries in town - including Second Wind Brewing Company, Untold Brewing, and Mayflower Brewing Company. Enjoy a pint year-round or, during summer months, one of our favorite activities is to visit the Mayflower Beer Garden at the Pinehills.
This park was created during the early 1920’s and is comprised of 2.9 acres - making it an incredible walk to take in views of downtown. We love seeing alewife herring swimming upstream in the spring.
