Marblehead, Massachusetts is very picturesque and historic--they have a nice
shoreline walk past 17th century houses and some old fishing boats. Not as
touristy as, say, Gloucester, but the same feeling. It's about 1 hour north
of Boston on the coast. (also while you're there, try Salem, a 20-min drive
inland from M'head. Great courthouse/museum of the witch trials...)
