Nahant.

Nahant is a small peninsula town connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway, giving it dramatic ocean views from nearly every street. It's one of the smallest towns in Massachusetts by population, with a tight-knit community and a housing stock dominated by classic New England homes, many directly on the water.

Its size and setting keep it quiet and low-key compared to its larger North Shore neighbors, while still sitting only minutes from Lynn, Swampscott, and the highway into Boston.
