NEW ENGLAND'S FOILAGE
About New England’s Foliage
Every autumn throughout New England, diminishing length of daylight and falling temperatures induce trees to shed billions of tons of leaves. Preceding this preparation for winter the trees present a spectacular color show. Leaves that have been green all summer turn to brilliant shades of yellow, orange, and red.
These color changes are caused by transformations in leaf pigments, primarily the green pigment chlorophyll. During summer, the leaves of trees are producing sugar from carbon dioxide and water by the workings of light and chlorophyll. Chlorophyll causes the leaves to appear green.
The shorter days and cool nights of autumn set off changes in the tree. One is the growth of a corky membrane at the base of the leaf stem, which interrupts the flow of nutrients into the leaf. This stops the production of chlorophyll in the leaf, and the green color of the leaf fades, allowing the reds, oranges and yellows to burst forth. The best autumn colors are produced when dry, sunny days are followed by cool, dry nights.
Color may begin to appear in isolated spots in far northern New England the first week in September. Typically, the color change begins at the higher elevations and in the northern part of the region mid-September and moves southward through mid-to-late October, ending in southern New England coastal areas at the end of October.
Visitors who travel to see our spectacular foliage are known as, “Leaf-Peepers.” While on your excursion do stop at country stores, orchards, local restaurants and shops. We have suggested some routes for you to drive. We also suggest that you try some backroads. Get a local map, and don’t worry about getting lost. You’ll always bump into a main road sooner or, hopefully, later.
MARITIME NEW ENGLAND
Coastal New England is rich in maritime history: Famous Revolutionary campaigns were fought here, and the whaling industry had its home base in much of the coastal areas. Boating and fishing continue to play an important role in New England life today, as recreational boaters join lifelong lobster and fishermen on Long Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean.
Mystic, CT
No journey into the history of New England's maritime culture is complete without a visit to Mystic and the surrounding region. The centerpiece of any trip to the area is the Mystic Seaport, where the heritage of 19th century coastal New England is preserved through exhibits, classes and special events year-round. The Mystic region is also home to two important naval battle sites, at Stonington Boro and Fort Griswold in Groton, CT. Stonington is also home to the last active fishing fleet on the Connecticut coastline. Active boaters and boat riders will find numerous charters, sailing trips and docking areas to enjoy their time on Long Island Sound.
Newport, RI
Long recognized as one of the country's best known boating recreation cities, boaters flock to Newport every year to enjoy the water, the boating events, and socializing with other boaters. Unlike other port cities, Newport attracts a large number of bigger yachts, as well, making it a popular place for boat watchers. Museums in the area detail the history of yachting and the Newport maritime industry. In season, boat shows, races, regattas and boat parades are popular attractions.
Maine's South Coast
A picture of a typical oceanside New England town always includes the lobsterman, headed out in his boat to empty his traps. The South Coast of Maine is home to that picture: Small coastal lobster and fishing villages, quiet coves housing little boats, and dozens of sails flying over the water. Those with a historic interest can visit Portland, a center of whaling and fishing industry during the 19th century.
South of Boston and the South Shore, MA
This region of Massachusetts is home to one of the most famous maritime events in American history, the landing of the Mayflower. Visitors can see a replica of that famous ship in Plymouth. In Fall River, visitors can enjoy a trip on some later historic boats: The Battleship Massachusetts, submarine Lionfish and other veterans of World War II. Throughout the region, there are reminders of our maritime heritage: Fort Phoenix in Fairhaven, the Marine Museum at Fall River -- featuring artifacts from and a replica of the Titanic, the New Bedford Whaling Museum are among the more frequently visited.
NEW ENGLAND BEACHES
New England has always been loved for its beaches. From smooth sand to rocky coasts, high ocean waves or cool fresh water lakes, this part of the country has a beach for just about everybody. More than just beautiful scenery, a summer day on a New England beach brings out fishermen, swimmers, sun worshippers, surfers, water-skiers, naturalists, birdwatchers, boaters -- the list could go on and on! Every one of New England's 39 tourism regions has some type of beachfront to offer, but here's a list of New England's best known beach areas, and it's most wonderful surprises:
Connecticut's River Valley and Shoreline
Long Island Sound offers beach-goers a calm experience: very little waves and undertow for bathers, and big, sandy beaches like you find on the ocean. This part of Connecticut offers visitors the most beaches of any part of the state, including state parks and small community beaches set on little inlets and coves. Since the boating community is very active here, you will find plenty of easy opportunity to reach the region by boat, as well as by more traditional means.
South County Rhode Island
Where Long Island Sound ends and the Atlantic Coast begins in New England, South County is probably the region's best kept oceanfront secret. Swimmable water, high ocean waves and 17 sandy beaches await visitors. Those who prefer the entertainment of a busy summer spot will enjoy Misquamicut Beach in Westerly, with its boardwalk attractions, nightlife and numerous hotels. Smaller community beaches and state parks along the shoreline offer smaller crowds, picturesque sand dunes, and great opportunities for bird-watching.
Newport Rhode Island
Newport is so well known for its other attractions and historic sites, that the beaches there are often overlooked. Visitors will enjoy sand and surf along Narragansett Bay and directly on the Atlantic. Of particular note is Fort Adams State Park, which features a beach alongside a tourable 19th century fort.
Cape Cod and the Islands
Certainly the most popular of New England's tourism areas, millions of visitors every year brave the traffic to enjoy Cape Cod's beaches. The area actually offers a variety of choices: The peninsula that is Cape Cod, Massachusetts juts out like a hook into the Atlantic, with the bay side featuring calmer, more tranquil beaches, and the outer cape offering higher waves and often unswimmable currents. The islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket are reachable only by ferry or air, and visitors find more rustic and remote beaches, and panoramic ocean views. The best known and most interesting beach, however, is the Cape Cod National Seashore in South Wellfleet: Over 40 miles of beaches, with huge sand dunes, spots for swimming, hiking and biking trails, and eco-programs for nature lovers of all ages.
New Hampshire's Seacoast
The most popular beach area north of Boston, the New Hampshire seacoast features dramatic ocean waves and cool water. Beaches vary in style: Hampton Beach is the area's commercial boardwalk, while smaller state parks offer less crowded oceanfront, and ample opportunities for bird-watching and observing nature.
South Coast Maine
The South Coast is home to Maine's sandy beaches. These long, beautiful beaches are accented by lighthouses, rock outcroppings, and dunes. Each towns' beach has its unique qualities. In Wells there is seven miles of flat, wide sand beach. Ogunquit's is about half as long but second to none for its beauty. The Yorks has Long Sands Beach to enjoy, and exploring the shoreline of the Kennebunks is a delight. For old-time beachside amusements don't forego Old Orchard Beach.
Midcoast Maine
Beaches dot the entire Maine coast, and Midcoast Maine serves as an elegant microcosm of the state: Charming New England fishing villages with small beaches. This far north, the vast sandy beaches are gone, replaced by the rocky coastline that has helped make Maine famous. The water is often too cold for swimming, although many beaches do make it available, and the abundant wildlife makes nature-watching a joy.
Northern Vermont
Northern Vermont is the home of Lake Champlain, New England's largest lake. The lake straddles the border between Vermont and New York, and all along its eastern shore-line, visitors will find state parks offering beaches and lake-front activities. On the Vermont side, the backdrop is marvelous: A view of New York's majestic Adirondack Mountains!
New Hampshire's Lakes Region
The most popular of New England's many glacial lake areas, Lake Winnipesaukee and its neighbors offer visitors cool, clean lake swimming, relaxing waterfronts in a variety of community beaches and state parks. Some are more commercial, others more remote, all set among quaint New England villages and picturesque rural countryside.
