    Planning the final leg of our honeymoon which ends with 2 days in Boston - to take in Salem etc. We would also like to spend 2 days outside Boston - towards Cape Cod but not in Cape Cod!

    Been looking at: Plymouth, marshfield, Duxbury, Cohasset.

    Anyone know these areas and could recommend one over the other. Beaches, nice food, quiet place as we will be coming from the madness of New Orleans! :D

    Try Newport RI, about an hour south of Boston.

    Lots of accommodation and dining options, nice beach close to town also.
    Great place to stroll around.

    Places likes Duxbury, Marshfield, Cohasset etc are really just suburbs of Boston that happen to be by the sea.

    Newport is a town in it's own right.

    I've only been to the north but Gloucester is nice. Also Rockport.

    Why not Cape Cod ? If it is just the time taken to drive there take a look at the ferry to Provincetown. http://www.provincetownfastferry.com
    "Ptown" is a really nice spot -especially during the week. Fits your criteria.

    If the Cape is really not your thing then the folks I knew up there would head north to Maine. Cannot remember specifically where but this gives you some suggestions http://www.visitmaine.net/page/118/southern-maine-coast-beaches
