Best of Boston

North Shore beaches are relaxing—the parking, not so much. Enter the oceanfront Beauport Hotel, where you can extend your usual day trip through the weekend thanks to a glam rooftop pool; the fantastic 1606 Restaurant & Bar; and Gloucester Harbor cruises aboard the hotel’s sister ship. As for the rooms? Think coastal cottage, with glorious balconies overlooking the water. When you’re ready to venture off-property, grab one of the hotel’s bicycles for an old-fashioned ride through town, or hop in a complimentary shuttle to Good Harbor Beach (our local fave) or anyplace else within a 3-mile radius.
