WALK AROUND

Take a walk around the pond and under the trees on Cohasset Common. After enjoying your lunch, you can stroll down Main Street and check out the shops there.

CHECK IT OUT

Main Street is an attractive street with a variety of shops to browse. Just a few examples: There’s an antiques store with ceramic figurines of Charlie Chaplin. Paperscapes offers stationery, cards and gifts. And at Darilynn’s Home Presence you’ll find, among other things, funky, colorful belts.

QUICK BITES

Bring a sandwich and a bottle of water and enjoy them on one of the many benches on the common, either under a tree or next to the pond.

RELAX

Bring a book, sit by the pond and read for a while. If you’re lucky, some ducks will give you some company. Watch the leaves fall and enjoy the color.

THE SKINNY

If you’re looking for a place to sit and have lunch outside and get in a bit of window shopping, try making a trip to Cohasset Common and the Main Street shops.
