1. Find a swimming hole
Not in the mood to hit the beach and pay $20 to park? There are plenty of other spots to catch a quick swim away from the pounding of the ocean waves. Massachusetts has a number of swimming holes, including Lowell Holly in Sandwich and Mashpee, that promise to lure you from the heat minus the crowds and seaweed.
