I love the beaches this time of year. Pretty and deserted. Several ideas besides the north shore:

  • Castle island in South Boston. Sullys should be opening this week iirc.
  • Drive down to Cohasset and drive the roads closest to the ocean until you get to Plymouth.
  • Make a weekend trip to Provincetown. Off season so a lot of stuff is closed but it's still beautiful down there. On a good windy day you can get sandblasted, it's quite an experience
  • Head to Newport and do a mansion tour

Other ideas for weekends

  • all the various art museums. MFA, ICA, Isabella Stuart Gardner, MassArt museum, Harvard Art, Peabody Essex in Salem, Rose Art at Brandeis, or make the drive to Mass MoCa. Many museums have free days or free/discounted tickets via boston public library
  • speaking of which, visit the main branch of BPL
  • Boston Athenaeum
  • catch a show at symphony hall or Jordan hall at the New England Conservatory
  • tour of Fenway Park
  • day trip to Providence
  • candle pin bowling at Ron's
  • whaling museum in New Bedford
