Collins Cove Waterfront Pathway

Highlight • Trail

This is Collins Cove, where the Collins Cove Walkway goes very close to the water's edge. It is a nice trail, and the views out into Collins Cove are great. There is also a small, peaceful beach here; it is a nice place to take a break from your bike for a while so you can just enjoy the vista. This is also part of the East Coast Greenway.

Salem Maritime National Historic Site

Highlight • Historical Site

Salem Maritime National Historic Site has been in existence since 1938, and it was the first national historic site in the United States. It covers over nine acres, and within this are ten historic buildings, nine archeological sites, four historic wharfs, and a lighthouse. All of these historic structures are along the Salem waterfront, apart from a downtown visitor center. Of special note is the impressive Friendship of Salem, a schooner that, along with being a floating museum, is a fully functioning coast guard vessel that carries passengers on special sailings when the occasion arises. All in all, this is a truly remarkable seafront historic area.
