Understand
The eastern part of Massachusetts consists of coastal plains along the Atlantic Ocean, with sandy cod capes protruding in the southeast, along with numerous islands. Massachusetts has a humid continental climate. Winters are cold and lengthy. However, the coastal regions have milder winters. Coastal areas are often covered in thick fog during the summer due to the influence of the nearby Atlantic Ocean.
