Savor South Dartmouth on New England's Farm Coast
The southern section of the town of Dartmouth on New England's picturesque Farm Coast, South Dartmouth serves up a relaxed base for a getaway with family and friends. Easy access to Apponagansett Bay and Clark's Cove has led to a thriving fishing and boating community, but the appeal of a stay in a South Dartmouth vacation rental by no means ends there. An array of elegant historic districts, delicious seafood dining and the chance to tour the area's revered Coastal Wine Route all add to the charm of a break on Massachusetts' south coast.
Exploring South Dartmouth
One of the best ways to get a feel for this scenic spot is to explore by bike, with several companies offering wheels for rent should you arrive without your own. An early start from the pretty harbor village of Padanaram will leave plenty of time to hop off your bike and wander through the historic Russells Mills Village, Dartmouth's earliest European settlement, and, in spring, the Daffodil Field at Parsons Reserve. Be sure to leave time to swing by Davoll's General Store. Established in 1793, it is one of America's oldest general stores - and a great place to pick up some old-fashioned candies.
Follow the wine trail in South Dartmouth
Checking out the Coastal Wine Route is a must-do during a stay in a South Dartmouth vacation rental. You'll find Coastal Vineyards and the Running Brook Vineyards & Winery are likely just minutes from your rental, although with more time on your hands, you can follow the route all the way to Rhode Island, no doubt finding more than one new favorite tipple along the way. If on the other hand, you're traveling with kids, and lazy afternoons sipping crisp wines are off the table, a trip to nearby Buttonwood Park Zoo, named as one of America's finest small zoos, will earn you some serious brownie points.
Summer fun in South Dartmouth
South Dartmouth vacation rentals are particularly popular in the summer months of July and August, no doubt thanks to the endless sunny days providing the ideal conditions for swimming, sunbathing and attending the Buzzards Bay Regatta, a late summer classic event that draws participants from far and wide. Be aware, though, that summer rentals are best secured well in advance. If you find the idea of fewer crowds appealing, visits in May and June can be a good bet, as can breaks in the fall months of September and October, these conveniently coinciding with harvest time at the area's vineyards.
Outdoor adventure in South Dartmouth
A break in South Dartmouth puts outdoor time firmly on the agenda, not least at the attractive Slocum's River Reserve, where highlights include 2 miles of meandering nature trails, views of the Elizabeth Islands from Angelica's Overlook and the chance to glimpse great blue herons wading in the shallows along more than 3,000 feet of salt marsh shoreline. Downstream of the reserve, the 1800-foot beach backed by grassy hills at Demarest Lloyd State Park presents an idyllic setting for wildlife watching and photography, and for younger travelers, shallow waters perfect for paddling.
