You Can Live Off The Grid In This Massachusetts Town Considered The Best In The Country

In today's world, we are constantly so connected. Not only do many of us have computers and tablets, but we carry phones around that act just like miniature computers. Our phones are a constant source of connection with notifications going off throughout the day. But, what if you want to disconnect and live off the grid, even just for a little while? One of the best places for off-grid living in Massachusetts is Truro. Much of this Cape Cod town is located within the Cape Cod National Seashore, which is undoubtedly one of the most pristine areas of the state

Living off the grid certainly isn't for everyone but disconnecting from our devices for a while should be. So why not head to where the WiFi is weak in a rural part of Massachusetts?

This doesn't necessarily mean being in the boring middle of nowhere. In reality, living off-grid in Massachusetts means experiencing some of the most incredible beauty in New England.

The town of Truro is located towards the end of the Cape Cod peninsula between Wellfleet and Provincetown. Its year-round population is around 1,700. residents and it is considered the most rural part of the Cape.

While the population during the summer can explode to about 15,000 to 20,000, it's a relatively low-key, quiet place to be any time of the year.

Approximately 75 percent of the town's land is part of the Cape Cod National Seashore. Home to incredibly pristine beaches and woodlands, you can find plenty of solitude here.

Through the woods, you can take a hike along the many trails and fire roads which may lead to ponds or even to one of Truro's gorgeous beaches. This is off-grid living at its finest!

Close to Head of the Meadow beach is the North of Highland Camping Area. To make your visit truly feel like an off-grid experience, consider pitching your tent in the woods. Then take a walk straight to the beach.

What a perfect place to get away and disconnect from life for a little while.
