Marblehead, Massachusetts | |
| What Salem was to merchant ships a century and a half ago, nearby Marblehead is to yachts today. | ||

Summer and winter, beautiful, perfectly sheltered Marblehead harbor is full of white boats bobbing on the water, or in drydock, or heading out to sea. But it's not only yachters who come to Marblehead. This is without doubt one of the prettiest and best-kept towns in the country, and people love to come from Boston on the weekend just to walk the streets and window-shop, or have a bowl of chowder in one of several good restaurants. They also come for a look at The Spirit of '76, the famous painting that hangs in Abbot Hall, Marblehead's Town Hall. Walking around, window-shopping, and admiring the buildings and the rugged coast are the best things to do in Marblehead's Old Town by the harbor on a half-day or even a full-day visit. More... If you plan to visit nearby Salem, make the detour to Marblehead for at least an hour or two, or for a meal or even overnight. |
