Newburyport Travel Guide: 23 reviews and 59 photos

Another scenic Massachusetts town

After driving through a monsoon-like storm, we got to Newburyport. As soon we got into town it stopped. Maybe it was some sort of sign or maybe it was just very convenient.

This is the center of Newburyport. It's a cute, quaint, full of shops and oh so New England and it's a nice drive - even through a storm - on 1A from Beverly.

Okay, it's not really eerie. I looked at this photo and it reminded me of the bad movies I'd watch as a kid about a haunted New England town.

Just like a bit of Cape May in Ye Olde New England...
