Touro Synagogue National Historic Site
Tour the Touro Synagogue National Historic Site. The building was dedicated in 1762 and served as a haven for Sephardic Jews fleeing persecution. The tours are informative and the atmosphere is peaceful. Check the schedule for the specific tour times available on your visit, as they vary by season.
14:45
Walk four minutes to Brick Alley Pub for a bite to eat. The menu is extensive, featuring steaks, seafood, and pasta. Try the lobster roll and clam chowder, which are local favorites. The salad bar is also a notable feature if you want something lighter.
15:30
Walk 28 minutes east to Eastons Beach. As one of the top 10 beaches in New England, it offers a three-quarter mile stretch of sand. The view of the Cliff Walk is particularly beautiful, and the water is calm enough for wading.
Local tip
Touro Synagogue tours vary by season and day. Arrive early to ensure you catch a tour before it closes for the day. The walk to Eastons Beach is pleasant but can be windy near the coast, so bring a light layer.
