Last Call for Summer
Soak up those final rays with these South Coast activities before autumn takes over…
1. Beach one last time
Hit up Fort Phoenix in Fairhaven, Plymouth Long Beach, or Horseneck Beach in Westport for a final dip or golden-hour chill session—it’s peak summer vibes before the air gets too chilly.
2. Pedal, hike, or roll
Cruise historic rail-trails like Mattapoisett Rail Trail or Falmouth’s Shining Sea Bikeway for ocean views, easy rides, or scenic strolls. Great for a mellow late-summer outing.
3. Ride the NEW South Coast Rail
Just launched: MBTA commuter rail service from New Bedford and Fall River makes last-minute day-trips to Boston easier than ever. Just hop on, show up, and soak it in!
