Nantucket and New England Coast Towns
September 11, 2007. One major trend we've noticed while researching luxury vacation rental news for our blog: online video feeds. MSNBC.com has been at the forefront of this technology, with videos that are easy to download even on slow Internet connections. This week, on "The Ultimate Getaway," an Internet video show, the website chronicles the offseason adventures at Nantucket.
The winds begin to blow this time of year, making sailing an great choice for this coastal Massachusetts getaway. Several local outfitters offer lessons. The host also visits Cisco Brewers, a local microbrewery, and some nice restaurants.
There are other great beach vacation spots in the area that no longer have the crowds of summer. Martha's Vineyard is a charming island with paved bicycle trails, golf courses and celebrity ambience. Cape Cod, home of Cape Cod National Seashore, is a great place for the family, with great beaches and opportunities to look for sea critters in the exposed tide pools at low tide.
All of these destinations, of course, have great seafood, whale watching and historic districts. The weather stays pleasant until November, when the winds begin to carry a bit more chill.
