New England Travel Issue

(Yoon S. Byun/Globe Staff)

New England's best summer travel ideas

After scouring all of New England, we bring you the region's top attractions and tell you how to get the most fun out of your summer.

Beaches
Tips for the Cape and Martha's Vineyard, an enchanting pond in Vermont, and a North Shore jewel.
Arts
Film fests that matter, music events that rock, theater that's outside the (black) box, and opera that's young at heart.
Outdoors
Biking Block Island, fly-fishing in Connecticut, a high-tech hike in Maine, and a splash of adrenaline in the Berkshires.
Food
A locavore's paradise, a hipster's oasis, a wannabe farmer's dream, and one satisfying oyster experience.
Shopping
Where to go for antiques, artisan gems, vintage accessories, outlet-store bargains, and more.
Family
A fun look at Dr. Seuss, a carousel that soars, the coolest treehouse ever, and a hands-on way to learn about aviation.
