Excellent Dock space

by John W. - Verified user on Oct 13, 2023
Wonderful location, very nice town and some great restaurants (and beach) in easy walking distance from the dock. However, the commuter train runs right next to the dock so be prepared for a 4:30am wake up call by train and bells. Still, I would highly recommend a visit to this beautiful location. If you bring a dog there is a great park for walking right there.

Beautiful sheltered harbor with walk on access to the beautiful little downtown. What’s not to like??

Always enjoy coming here. Very easy dock to approach and tie up to. The kids on the dock are fantastic - they will work to accommodate fitting you in when the dock seems full. Only thing I would like better is if they accepted reservations. Very busy on the weekend and if you strike out there, you’re not docking anywhere else’s in town.

We have used this dock several times to stop in and grab pizza/ice cream. The harbormaster staff is always friendly and helpful.

Easy tie up great attendant.

by Caraline L. - Verified user on Aug 22, 2023
Very quiet. The staff are very pleasant and warm. Close to provisioning, liquor store and great breakfast place “Laughing Gull”. Very sheltered from the wind. Good icecream across the street. Short walk to Singing Beach. The only thing I would say is that for the price ($98) it’s very pricey compared to other places since there is no shore power, showers, pump out services, laundry, hot tub etc.

About Town of Manchester-by-the-Sea

Manchester-by-the-Sea is one of Massachusetts’s hidden treasures. The town’s new transient docks offer visiting boaters direct access to the center of this quaint New England town. Right from the docks you can walk to a variety of restaurants, shops, parks and beaches.

Enjoy a meal at one of the many restaurants Manchester has to offer, or if you’re looking for a relaxing day on the beach, Singing Beach, is walking distance from the docks. The walk is shaded and you can pick up an ice cream cone or a cup of coffee on the way.

Manchester-by-the-Sea is a beautiful harbor and we look forward to sharing its beauty and character with you.
