Best viewpoint of Marblehead at sunset!…read more I grew up in Marblehead but haven't lived there for over 20 years. Every time I visit, I stop by this park at sunset to capture gorgeous views of the town, water and boats. If you're ever in Marblehead, put this on your list of places to visit.

I love all public parks. We have beautiful public parks where I'm from, so I guess you could say I…read morehad high expectations for the waterfront park in the charming city of Marblehead. I feel badly saying this, but when we pulled up from the GPS, we laughed. The lighthouse is a very minimal, old, not inviting, colorless structure. There's almost no public seating. There are barely any signs explaining the area. It has so much potential but none of it is utilized. A lot of tourists were milling about with similar confusion. On a funnier note, a local here told me that Marblehead, MA will sometimes use a lighthouse photo of the one from my state in Marblehead, OH because they also agree there's is disappointing. Three stars for the surrounding waters if you're not used to seeing water.

There are plenty of benches and informative plaques scattered around, so you can take your time and learn along the way. It's completely free to visit, which is a bonus, and the entire area is perfect for a leisurely walk.

One of few areas on Marblehead with public parking - and restrooms - available…read more We were more thankful for public parking than I can say after attempting to visit several nearby sites (a beach and reserve) requiring seasonal recreational/residential permits to park! As non-locals parking permit requirements in the area gave a very exclusive vibe that was very off-putting. What a joy and relief to find this chunk of land where all are welcome! This park offers two shaded seating areas, benches facing all directions, a historic lighthouse, commemorative plaque, restrooms, drinking fountain and bottle-fill station. Bring sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, and/or layers and enjoy! We had a much-needed restroom break, a little bit of rock scrambling, lots of picture-taking and water-bottle-filling session and were on our way. Not a bad park to stop for just 10-20 min or stay for a while!

We stopped at a small hidden park in Marblehead called Castle Rock Park. Perfect place to relax, and watch and listen to the ocean. Cool little factoid for all you history buffs, according to our tour guide, Marblehead is one of the towns which claim to be the birthplace of the US Navy. That's cool. Wish I had more time to explore this place, but what I did see I loved.

A beautiful large and windswept beach in the North Eastern suburbs of Boss-town up on the North Shore that is gorgeous and much less touristy and much more unspoiled than the more famous and curvaceous Revere Beach.

The commons actually weren't that busy, even though the streets were a filled with trick-or-treaters. There were lots of food vendors, and merchants on site and plenty of people in costume. We did get to walk around the common and learn about some of the history of the area which was cool. It's also a really lovely green space. It was difficult to enjoy the circle unfortunately, because there were a group of pharisaic incels walking around in circles with megaphones. Parking was also pretty atrocious but it was Halloween after all. The space itself seems really lovely and I think it's great that people in the community have a place they can gather. I would definitely come here and have a picnic if I lived in the area.
