Where to Stay in Hull, Massachusetts:

Josephine’s on the Bay
Homey and relaxing, Jospehine’s sets out to capture the pace and feel of a beach community of the 1920s. The B&B has only three rooms, which means that there is plenty of individual attention to go around.

Where to Eat in Hull, Massachusetts:

Bridgeman’s. Bridgeman’s ocean-view dining rooms and outdoor patio are the perfect place to discover the region’s best brodetto. Brodetto was originally a stew made from whatever catch Italian fishermen couldn’t sell. Next to such simple fare, the luscious brodetto served here–full of mussels, clams, shrimp, and fish in a fragrant tomato sauce over squid-ink pasta–is a cathedral beside a country chapel. It’s a rustic and hearty seafood lover’s dream dish.

Nantasket Beach Reservation
