We were delighted with the response to last year’s Explore South Shore Contest, which celebrated NSRWA’s 50th Anniversary by suggesting 50 properties to visit throughout the year. In fact, the program was so popular that we’ve decided to expand it into 2021, offering 52 more places for you to check out this year, one for every week.

You can enter to win a monthly prize by visiting the featured properties and posting your photos on Instagram @northsouthrivers with the hashtag #ExploreSouthShore. Once a month we will randomly choose a winner from the posts to receive a prize package.

HOW IT WORKS

  1. Consult the Explore South Shore 2021 list on our website, Facebook, or Instagram.
  2. Visit the highlighted property and take a picture of the location or you and/or your friends and family exploring.
  3. Share the photo with us any time that month on our Instagram page @northsouthrivers with the hashtag #ExploreSouthShore and include the name of the property.
