The South Shore has hidden gems in every town. Fantastic restaurants, unique cultural attractions, and beautiful landscapes bring added value to homeowners and attract sellers. Let's get to know the South Shore communities more intimately. My Travel Ideas series is designed to explore indigenous and local spots and then create day trips for the ages!
Meet Scituate & all her glory. This lovely community has a lot to offer for a day-cation.
GOLF + FUN
Widow's Walk
Start your trip with a morning round of golf. Widow's Walk GC is located close to town, is very affordable, and will challenge all types of golfers. Fun fact Normie (in my Cliff Clavin voice), Widow's Walk GC is America's first “environmental demonstration course."

LOOK ON THE SUNNY SIDE
Minot Beach
We always recommend slapping some sunblock on and heading out to the beach. While in Scituate, enjoy Minot Beach and don't forget your Board143 grazing board, some beverages, and your beach towel. Soak up the views, the sound of ocean waves crashing, and end your trip in complete relaxation.
Don't forget to support your local business owners. Special thanks to Kerri @ Board143, Mary Ellen @ Lucky Finn Cafe & Ian Kelley @ Widow's Walk GC for our inside look into their businesses & special interviews.
