Fort Beach
Fort Beach sits along Salem Willows, a classic New England waterfront park with a real old-school carnival atmosphere — arcades, food stands, and shaded lawns just steps from the water. You anchor off here and can dinghy ashore to explore the area, which also puts you close to Dead Horse Beach and the broader Salem Neck shoreline. Salem itself is right there, with its famously rich history and waterfront worth the short trip inland.
