The Clam Box: Whimsically shaped like its namesake container, this local institution has been serving deep-fried seafood since 1935. You won’t find a crispier or more honest-tasting fried clam, so don’t be put off by the long lines. ipswichma.com/clamboxGreat Attraction in Ipswich, Massachusetts:

Ipswich is a well-preserved Puritan town and a wonderful place to live. It has more “First Period” houses than any other town in America.

Having roots in Ipswich back to the 1600’s compelled me to this wonderful small town with a village flavor. The people here are genuine, warm and friendly. The food is straight foward and fresh, and the beach is prestine! Pop in for lunch at the 5 Corners Cafe, tour the 1st period houses, stroll the beach, and grab an evening game at the Choate Pub for a great weekend experience!
My favorite beach when I was growing up. Never bothered with the traffic hassle to go to the Cape. From Newton, it was easier to go north to beautiful uncluttered Crane’s Beach!
