This video is a tour through the Massachusetts North Shore, which includes the towns of Marblehead, Salem, Gloucester, Manchester-By-The-Sea, Rockport & Newburyport/Plum Island. This is an absolutely amazing area of New England to visit because each town has amazing and charming character, and I never ran out of incredible things to do and see.
Looking for things to do in Cape Ann? I have a blog post about it! Cape Ann is a part of the North Shore, and here is a round up of the best things to do while in Cape Ann, MA:

I also have a post dedication to all the best things to do and see in Marblehead, MA:

Music makes or breaks a video, in my opinion, and I have long-struggled with finding the right songs for a video when I'm editing. The absolute best place to get music for your videos that I've found after extensive research is Music Bed. They provide the most professional soundtracks that aren't cheesy, and the best way to search for the exact track you need including build, mood, instrumental-only versions and tempo. I still don't love picking music for a video, but Music Bed makes it a lot easier. I'm not sponsored by them in any way - I just really love the site and am so happy I found them.

They're so beautiful, right? Thank you so much for watching!

What a work of art. I did not know anything about the North Shore.

[@NewEnglandWanderlust]

Oh my gosh, thank you so much! I feel like the North Shore doesn't get the credit it deserves. I want to come back here every November now - there was something so calming and peaceful about it.

After going through a year of cancer treatments and Covid restrictions, your video was very much needed , very much appreciated , and so therapeutic for my soul ! Thank you so much for lifting my spirits and brightening my day !

[@NewEnglandWanderlust]

Oh Sharon, I'm so sorry! What a terrible year this has been for you. I hope your heath has been improving and that you're making a strong recovery. It makes me so happy to hear that this little video brightened your day. That's why I make them. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch it.

Beautiful as always! You are so good at showcasing the beauty and charm of the places you visit. Dreaming of a time when I will be able to visit all of these wonderful east coast/New England destinations that you are able to go to. We are currently stationed in the desert of Southern California and while it has it's own beauty, I miss the east coast something fierce! I always come back to your videos when I need a dose of the ocean or small town charm. Thank you for sharing! Its always brightens my day when I see a video of yours in my subscriptions.

[@NewEnglandWanderlust]

This made me so happy to read - thank you so much! That's one of the big reasons I love making these kinds of videos. I would love to visit the desert someday, but I kiiiiiind of feel you - I'd probably miss the East Coast too :) Thank you again so much for such kind words and for taking the time to watch.

So happy to see a new travel video from you. Just beautiful and peaceful to view!

[@NewEnglandWanderlust]

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch! I'm so happy that you enjoyed it. I was hoping it would be a calming video for people to watch to escape for a few minutes :)

[@PeterCombs]

Born in Salem, grew up in Marblehead, and now living in Gloucester...you did a good job covering it all...! Thank you, nice to see it through the eyes of a guest.

[@gingerg8920]

Your travel vlogs make me so happy and I always want to go to whatever place you’re at. Thank you for the post, it was beautiful.

[@NewEnglandWanderlust]

[@NewEnglandWanderlust]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank YOU for watching!

[@alissa592]

Wow it seems like it would be a lot of work getting all of those shots! Amazing video, thank you for the travel vibes while I sit here on my couch :)

[@NewEnglandWanderlust]

Ha! :) It is! But in a fun way. I usually only do it if the mood strikes and there aren't a lot of people around. It was easy to want to film everything during this trip. I'm so glad I could provide a little virtual getaway for you! Thank you so much for watching :)

[@lavoixdevelours]

My favorite season! This takes me back to fall. :)

[@NewEnglandWanderlust]

It's the absolute best season for sure! I'm glad I could provide a little escape :)

Welcome to New England. I grew up in VT, family is still there but MA is where I consider home. I've lived in VT, NH, CT, MA, FL, NC, WI, AZ, NM, Vegas, Mexico and Europe. RI is lovely as well. MA has the excellent healthcare and education as well.

[@gentlegiant4572]

Such a sweet couple , so sad to see you not together.

[@michaelhartin72]

I loved you’re video! My daughter and I are from south Alabama and were there for almost 2 weeks. We just returned home a couple of weeks ago and we really miss it. A week of our trip was spent in Salem in which we ventured to all the Salem attractions you showcased, as well as Gloucester, Manchester and into Maine. The last part of our vacation was spent in Boston and Plymouth. When I was in the military I spent time in North Carolina but never ventured to any areas north so it was my first time in the New England area as it was my young daughters as well. The people were so friendly and ambiance if Salem just draws you in to the point we didn’t want to leave. My daughter just turned 13 and we’ve decided when she graduates high school we will be moving to Salem, because her mother has custody right now and I want move out of state until she can come with me. Thank you for sharing your video, it brings great memories back.

[@FIRED13]

Missing subtitles of where these places are. So lost, cannot use this video for planning our up coming trip, unfortunately because I love the shots! Like that Salem looks too be at Fort Pickering

[@MissLizzyP1]

Beautifully shot video. You could be a professional editor or even a Director.

[@NewEnglandWanderlust]

Oh my gosh, blushing over here :) Thank you so much for such kind words. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

[@Riprock296]

I live walking distance from Winter Island where you started your video! Thanks for making this! It really solidified for me why I love living here. Oh…. and that my wife and I really need to get out and explore more. Looking through your videos I didn’t see Portsmouth NH…. Google it! I think you could make a great video there

[@NewEnglandWanderlust]

Oh wow, what a great area to live in! My husband and I spent a night in Portsmouth once on our way to Maine, and we loved it. Have been wanting to go back for a while now. Hopefully soon :) Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment.

[@LetUsDrownIn]

I'll be going to the New England area for the first time ever this July! Is this place just as nice during the evening?

[@h.keithklohoker9578]

Hello, I am going to visit cape cod in Aug, I know from an article of yours I read online you recommend many properties, the one I'm interested In most is the Pelham House Resort, do you highly recommend? I read a few disappointing reviews online

[@mrjcbuc]

Just wondered if anyone can tell me if flying in to Bangor, seeing Acadia and then working our way down to Boston and flying out of there makes sense?

[@NewEnglandWanderlust]

Hey there! You can definitely do that :) I actually always recommend that if you have the time, you should absolutely drive the coast of Maine into Massachusetts because it's one of the most beautiful road trips in New England. I would suggest that you have at least a week to explore, as it will be a lot of driving, but if you have the time, do it! Hope that helps :)

Do not rent a room at the Avalon motel in Saugus Massachusetts. Someone broke into my nieces room and stole money. They didn’t care. There are no microwave ovens to heat your food and there are mice there. The Avalon motel is a bad place. Whoever reads this spread the word.
