Coastal Commonwealth
Once a vacation destination, as well as a destination for military and commercial interests. Salem, Nahant and Revere Beach lay on the shore, mostly abandoned due to a combination of raiders, feral ghouls and super mutants camped out at Revere satellite array.
​
SALEM
Once a quaint coastal town and seaport, Salem was turned into a tourist destination by the infamous witch trials of 1692. After the Great War, the town's residents worked together to make it a secure settlement, and over the next two centuries became known as one of the safest towns in the Commonwealth. As a consequence, the townspeople grew lax in their defenses, and about a century ago the town was wiped out by mirelurks.​
​
Since mostly abandoned, the area has become mostly avoided by wastelanders due to Gunner activity, the Church of the Children of Atom worshipping at a nearby radioactive crater, and the large number of mating mirelurks in the waters all around the bay.
NAHANT
Located on a small peninsula to the northeast of the Commonwealth and surrounded by ocean, Nahant boasts high security with only one major line of entry - a thin land bridge from the northwest of the landmass. Once settled by remnants of the Commonwealth Minutemen, the inhabitants have since devolved into a group of raiders, and the area is now mostly avoided by the majority of wastelanders.
