Salem, MA is a fun day trip out of Boston, and easily accessible by commuter rail. Attractions range from the kitchsy (the many witch museums that give an, er, revisionist spin to the famous witch trials of 1692) to the sublime (the Asian-export collection at the Peabody Essex Museum (Moshe Safdie designed the new addition). Great collection of 17th and 18th century architecture, and you will be close to the sea.
If travelling by car, head up the coast and see the rest of Cape Ann! A fun few hours, good for kids - but should bypass if only in Boston for a few days.
