Massachusetts is certainly among one of the top Summer vacation destinations in New England, as well as on the entire east coast. Unfortunately, sometimes it seems to be unavoidable that along with your ever-so-popular destination you may have picked for your vacation might just have a rather large crowd. Some may even be overcrowded. So, what spots can you hit up during the off-seasons when those destinations might not be so crowded? As it turns out, the Bay State has one of the best spots for that in the U.S.

The popular travel publication 'Love Exploring' recently released its picks for where the off-season destinations are that you can escape the crowds. They ranked the top 37 U.S. destinations where you can do this. Basically, as long as you stray from that destination's most popular time of the year (for most of them, that would be Summer) then, that particular spot would be the most enjoyable during any other time of year. So, where is that spot in Massachusetts?

If you're hoping to avoid the crowds during the off-season in Massachusetts, but still enjoy an incredible setting and atmosphere while in the Bay State, it seems that your spot of choice out east on Cape Cod, in Provincetown.

P-town is ranked at #7 among the best off-season destinations in the U.S. Here's what 'Love Exploring' had to say about the spot:

Provincetown – or P-Town as locals call it – heaves with visitors in peak summer months but becomes a very different place when the crowds move out. A place where it’s possible to stroll on the beaches and along the marina without bumping into anyone and to easily get a seat in food hotspots serving lobster… everything, from buttery rolls to mac ’n’ cheese. Spring and fall are perfect for whale watching too.

 

The views tend to speak for themselves when it comes to Provincetown. Perhaps before we get to the full force of Summer, maybe you want to try to hit that place up. Or, maybe even a Fall trip wouldn't be bad either. You know at least it's one of the best places to head to during the off-season.
