The Essex Street Inn

Elegant colonial architecture

by Pawtuxet

The streets of Newburyport are lined with one wonderful architectural beauty after another. One can hardly pay attention to the driving. Better park the car and prepare to walk a while. Keep the camera handy....you'll be snapping every 50 feet!

Newburyport ~ history, architecture, boating

by Pawtuxet

"From the moment you enter...."

Newburyport has her best dress on all the time, it seems. The homes are beautifully restored and preserved....each one more beautiful than the one before it. The waterfront has been developed to include outdoor sculpture, sitting areas, a promenade, boat tours, and tourist information building ..... along with the necessary public parking. There is an interesting business district full of restaurants and shops that lure the visitor with lovely storefronts and signage. I arrived late in the day so I missed the hustle and bustle of the business district...but enjoyed the late day sun streaming across this exquisite architecture. I'll probably visit again next time I"m staying in Rockport. It's a very scenic drive that you can enjoy for the hour or so it might take to amble up there from the Gloucester - Rockport area.
Newburyport is located just 35 miles north of Boston
