Meet Boston | 23 SOUTH OF BOSTON With its close proximity to Boston, convenient access to major high- ways and public transportation, and numerous recreational activities, his- toric sites and attractions, Quincy is ideally situated to host meetings, conferences and large tour groups. Quincy, only eight miles from Boston, is the place to explore Adams National Historical Park, the birth- places and summer White House of presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams, as well as the shops and restaurants of picturesque Marina Bay and the revitalized downtown. An hour’s drive from Boston, Plymouth offers a resort-oriented seaside set- ting with 21 miles of coastline and a small-town feel. It is a popular tourist stop and great destination for meet- ings and conferences. Visitors to Plymouth can enjoy water- front dining, shopping, whale watching and sailing, or golfing on the cham- pionship courses at Pinehills Golf Club. This is also where you’ll find the Plimoth Patuxet Museums, a hands-on living history experience dedicated to the native Wampanoag and Pilgrim colonists, and the Mayflower II, a full- scale reproduction of the original Pilgrim ship. In Foxborough, just 29 miles from Boston, you’ll find Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots, and the adjacent Patriot Place, which fea- tures more than 1.3 million square feet of shopping, dining and entertainment options. You can also enjoy gaming and live entertainment at nearby Plainridge Park Casino, the first casino in Massachusetts, located in Plainville. For an immersive adventure, The Escape Game Dedham offers a multi- room set where you and your team crack codes, uncover clues and solve puzzles. Visitors to Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard can savor the local seafood delicacies and enjoy beautiful beaches, excellent fishing, golfing, antiquing or shopping. Though the Cape is a world apart from many other destinations in its charms and services, it lies within easy reach of Boston’s Logan International Airport, just 50 miles away. Flights from Boston to Hyannis are available as well as bus transportation and train service aboard the CapeFLYER, a summer weekend passenger train. Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket can be reached by ferry from Woods Hole and Hyannis. Air transportation is available from Boston, New York City and several Cape Cod towns to both islands’ airports.
