These 3 MA Gems Just Made ‘Most Beautiful’ List

MASSACHUSETTS — If you're looking for gorgeous scenery, you don't have to venture out of the state. Three Massachusetts spots landed on Yankee Magazine's "Stunning Scenery: 12 Beautiful Places to Visit in New England."

Mount Auburn Cemetery, Brewster Tidal Flats, and Bash Bish Falls represented the Bay State on the list.

The twelve places include everything "from mountaintop views to windswept coastlines and hidden gardens."

The Massachusetts locales joined regional heavy hitters like Maine's Acadia National Park and Rhode Island's Newport Mansions.

Mount Auburn Cemetery was inspired by English landscaping tradition as well as Paris’s parklike Père Lachaise. It opened in 1831 as the nation's first "garden cemetery," and still welcomes the public to its 175 acres of grounds in Cambridge and Watertown every day, according to Yankee Magazine.

Brewster Tidal Flats extend nearly 10 miles along the coast of Cape Cod, providing "ample" viewing spots. The site is perfect for sunsets with its "ripples and runnels in the sand that create the illusion of molten stained glass right at your feet."

Bash Bish Falls is a 60-foot cascade that has been immortalized by Hudson River School artist John F. Kensett. The site offers "scenic viewing of the Commonwealth’s largest waterfall," with the falls dropping into an emerald plunge pool, according to the Department of Conservation & Recreation.
