In Massachusetts we're blessed to have mountains and shoreline. With that shoreline comes many amazing beaches. As an admitted beach bum (shout out Nantasket Beach!) who hits the beach at least 300 of the 365 days a year I'm pretty interested about how they stack up! So I hit up Tripadvisor, threw in a couple metrics, and BAM! here we go. These are the 15 traveler-favorite beaches in Massachusetts. So slap on some SPF40 because you may get sun-kissed just perusing this list.
BTW even though we have all these awesome beaches, New England still has 4 of the 10 Least Fun States in America according to some goons. Click the link for more on that. And now... FUN BEACHES:
