    Sharing Some of Our Favorites!

    While Plymouth boasts an incredible number of amentities and things to do locally - we've rounded up our most beloved activities to serve as inspiration.

    Walkability

    Those particularly interested in the downtown area of Plymouth can benefit of the close proximity of many restaurants, local shops and historical sights - such as the Mayflower II and Plymouth Rock.

    Sunset Views

    Plymouth is home to a walkable jetty where individausl can take in the unfiltered sunset (or sunrise if youi're more of a morning bird) views. We love grabbing an ice cream cone from Ziggy's walking the jetty during the warm summer nights.

    Outdoor Eateries

    There are an incredible assortment of outdoor eateries in Plymouth - which draw in tourists and South Shore locals alike. Rye Tavern boasts outdoor heated igloo eating in winter months while downtown restaurants like East Bay Grille offer incredible waterfront dining.

    Brown's Bank

    A large sandbar just off of Long Beach, Brown's Bank is one of our favorite destinations, only accessible by boat. It boasts stunning sandy shores, gentle waves, mildly warm waters, with the joys of fishing and swimming.

    Historical Sightseeing

    We would be remiss not to highlight all of the incredible historical landmarks that Plymouth MA is renouned for nationwide - incuding Plimoth Plantation and the Mayflower II replica, which is harbored downtown during summer months. Town residents benefit from discounted admissions year long!

    Whale Watching

    This experiene is one that never fatigues! The ritual of catching a ride aboard a Captain John boat for the chance to see an array of whale species such as humpback whales, finback whales, pilot whales or even the endangered right whales. These excurisions depart from Town Wharf in Plymouth.

    Camp Life

    Plymouth is home to a number of summer camps - including Camp Bourndale and Camp Clark. Many of us at ALANTE have children who have greatly benefited from these well-known establishments over the years.

    Brewery Hoppping

    Plymouth has a handful of standout breweries in town - including Second Wind Brewing Company, Untold Brewing, and Mayflower Brewing Company. Enjoy a pint year-round or, during summer months, one of our favorite activities is to visit the Mayflower Beer Garden at the Pinehills.

    Walk Brewster Gardens

    This park was created during the early 1920’s and is comprised of 2.9 acres - making it an incredible walk to take in views of downtown. We love seeing alewife herring swimming upstream in the spring.
