Celebrate the new year by exploring the newest places on Discover Buzzards Bay
In 2019, the Buzzards Bay Coalition hit an exciting milestone. We reached a total of 250 Places To Go on Discover Buzzards Bay, our online tool that helps local residents find unique and exciting ways to explore the outdoors, get some exercise, and connect with nature.
If you’ve used Discover before, you know that this free resource provides a portal to hundreds of outdoor adventures across the Buzzards Bay region. Our goal is to make it easy for anyone — of all ages, interests, and abilities — to find something to love outdoors around the Bay. Each page is rich with all the information you need to get exploring, including useful maps and photos of what makes each place special.
We added 76 new places to Discover this year, providing somewhere to explore in every town around the Bay from Little Compton to Aquinnah. As we welcome a new year and a new decade, we hope you’ll celebrate by picking one of these places to spend some time outdoors and appreciate all that Buzzards Bay provides.
