Speaking of the Neck, you'll definitely want to plan to take a "Neck Run," as we say, to see our famous lighthouse and park, Chandler Hovey, named after the Marblehead resident who purchased it in 1948 and donated it to the town. The park is free for visitors and offers the best views of Marblehead Harbor, Salem Harbor and shorelines of Beverly and Manchester-By-The-Sea. It's also a stop on the Coastal Essex Scenic Byway, which takes you along this beautiful part of the Atlantic coastline through 14 towns and is a must-see. Once you're done taking in the ocean views, a beach stop is also a must. While the water is definitely chilling, Devereaux Beach and Riverhead across the street are perfect stops, especially at sunrise or sunset, and Riverhead's great if you've got a dog who wants to splash around. A little closer to downtown, Seaside Park offers a mile of woodsy walking trails where you'll find more beach views from a higher-up vantage point. And finally, the perfect Old Town loop starts from Crocker Park to the State Street Landing to Fort Sewall to Gas House Beach, past The Little Harbor Lobster Company for a fresh-caught lobster roll.
