Average Plymouth Weather
In spring temperatures average between 50 and 70 degrees, making for a pleasant visit. Summer can be hot (80-90 degrees) but ocean breezes keep you cool. If you can keep a secret, early fall (Sept.) brings with it the best temperature and visiting conditions. Late fall is fun as cool weather ushers in the Harvest season and preparation for the holidays. Winter can be cold but sunny days allow pleasant surprises in our seaside towns.
Transportation
Plymouth County is one of the largest counties in Massachusetts. Having your own vehicle is, by far, the easiest way to explore. The town of Plymouth has metered parking and free parking if you’re willing to walk a few blocks. But there are options.
Plymouth & Brockton (P&B) buses as well as the Old Colony commuter rail offer convenient transportation to the heart of our region. The bus’s first stop is in Rockland, 30 minutes south of Boston. It then travels to exit 5 in Plymouth where a GATRA/PAL bus brings you to Plymouth Center. The train goes to Kingston, one town north of Plymouth, frequently during the day and again the GATRA/PAL bus stops there. The train to Plymouth arrives and departs three times a day and taxis must be called to get you to your destination from there.
Boat service is also available from Boston to Hull (Plymouth County’s northernmost point) and you can rent a car and use Hull as a hub for day trips throughout Plymouth County and Boston.

Plymouth County Convention & Visitors Bureau
Plymouth County... Where History is just the Beginning......
Category: Plymouth Tourism in Massachusetts
Description of this Plymouth Visitor Information entry: The Pilgrims established the first permanent English settlement in New England when the Mayflower landed in 1620. Because of its role in American history, Plymouth County continues to be a popular destination.
Plimoth Plantation is a re-creation of the Pilgrims’ English settlement in 1627. Related sites include a crafts center, a Wampanoag Homesite, indoor exhibits, and Mayflower II in Plymouth Harbor.
But Plymouth history is just the beginning of what you can discover in Plymouth County… the nation’s oldest public museum, wineries, numerous centuries-old historic houses and a reconstructed 1636 gristmill. Other area exhibits are Fuller Craft Museum, Hull Lifesaving Museum, Scituate Lighthouse and Edaville USA with summer train rides, cranberry harvest viewing and Christmas Festival of Lights.
Plymouth County has a wealth of natural resources; State Parks, salt- and fresh-water beaches and scenic parks and marshlands. Deep-sea fishing excursions are available from a number of harbors. With 24 golf courses, some designed by the world’s finest course architects, the County is well known as a golfer’s destination.
Daily seasonal whale-watch cruises or daytrips to Cape Cod, narrated harbor and Canal tours blend well with contemporary art museums located in Cohasset, Marshfield, Duxbury and Brockton. The South Shore Natural Science Center in Norwell is an educational opportunity nature lovers will enjoy.
Explore our historic coastline and proud maritime heritage. Take a driving tour on our Back Roads or enjoy lunch or evening dining overlooking Cape Cod Bay.
The South Shore is known for its scenic coastline, quaint villages, comfy B&Bs and impressive lighthouses. Visit museums that share the history of lifesaving or the Irish Mossing industry, not to mention centuries-old homes that now offer seaside dining.
Cranberry Country takes you through the back roads of the cranberry industry and the influence it has had on Plymouth County. You can drive yourself, hire a professional driver to take you to places you may not find otherwise or even ride a narrow-gauge train through the heart of the bogs where this truly American berry grows.
Metro South, although alluding to its proximity to Boston, which makes it a perfect hub for exploring the area, is really quite a city in its own right. Known as the City of Champions due to its prize-fighting heroes like Rocky Marciano and Marvelous Marvin Hagler, it also contains the only contemporary craft museum in New England and other cultural venues.
Plymouth, established in 1620 when the Pilgrims chose to settle here will forever be the stepping stone of today's America. Their story, and that of the Native People who befriended them, is told in colorful detail at museums, like Plimoth Plantation, Pilgrim Hall and historic houses like the 1667 Harlow House. The footpaths, trails and streets of America’s Hometown continue to welcome newcomers as they did 4 centuries ago.
Plymouth County’s doors are open for you to discover America's historic past as well as our vibrant present.
