Visitors Guide


The Greater Newburyport region of coastal Massachusetts is located about 36 miles north of Boston (about a one hour train ride from North Station in Boston, Massachusetts). If you time it right, you can drive to Boston in about 35 minutes (but not during the daily rush hour commuting timeframe). A rush hour drive-time is closer to an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes. Or even longer depending on traffic and road conditions.
