Great spot, near town with the local grocery (Crosby's) , restaurants and ice cream store nearby. No shore heads, no water easily available, and dock for overnight is open only 4p to 10am. It is shallow at low tide, just 6' at the dock. Narrow channel with many boats moored or anchored to avoid. All that said, it is a delightful stop and a favorite.

Loved it!!! Staff was great! Busy day on the dock, but they managed to get us a spot after a short wait. Rumba will be back!

Manchester-by-the-Sea is one of our favorite destinations when we are out cruising. The location of a great super market, restaurants, and ice cream is just a short walk. The dock staff are terrific. While their is no electricity or water, just tie up to the dock, it doesn't stop us from going there. It's easy enough to run the generator if needed. Highly recommend.

Always a beautiful place to visit. We have regular routine of walking to the beach. Buying groceries and getting coffee before heading off to Misery or Kettle Cove or Sand Dollar Cove. The Harbormaster and his staff are welcoming, helpful and well organized. Love coming here.

Nice place right in town. Restaurants and grocery, but no laundromat. Only negative is noise from the occasional train. Earliest is about 6am.

Town dock is great location except for the MBTA train crossing nearby. Walking distance to restaurants, Dunkin and grocery store. Good docking help from attendants. Manchester Marine good for fuel. All good if a bit noisey from train.
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.
