America's First Seaside Resort

A driving tour across Nahant's rocky peninsula, from its resort-era museum to its Cold War point and public beach

This is where Nahant worked out what kind of place it wanted to be. Four stops over 4.4 miles, about 25 minutes of driving. The story for each stop plays as you arrive, so nothing has to be looked up and nobody has to be followed.

It works as well at eight in the morning as it does at dusk. Stop for coffee, pick it back up.
