The South Shore of Massachusetts is a geographic region stretching south and east from Boston along the coast of Cape Cod Bay toward Cape Cod.
Bus service and commuter rail service can be infrequent. The highways can be pretty congested, especially if one is closer to Boston, or if it's the warmer months of the year.
