Salisbury Rail Trail

Reviewed By L9393NIrobertm - Exeter, United States

We have been on this trail many times and enjoy it. It is paved the entire way and is an easy flat walk. There are views of woods and marsh. There is free parking at the southern end near the bridge to Newburyport. It can get crowded at times. This is a good outing--a good leisurely walk.

A great mix of nostalgia inducing classics and more modern takes, this arcade has something for everyone! Don't miss Pokereno. Grab a soft serve twist at the window, then crowd into the photo booth for a lasting memory. I starting coming here as a tiny kid in the summer and I still love to visit all the way from NYC any chance I get.

Blue Ocean Music Hall

Reviewed By JuderT - Walpole, United States

A great place to hear music. The sound is great and the dance floor is a great size. I recommend a table to the right of the stage- which will give you views of the water.

Salisbury Beach

Reviewed By CMPTexas - Tucson, United States

Beautiful east coast beach at the New Hampshire-Massachusetts border with grassy dunes, sand and beautiful blue ocean. There is a boardwalk area with restaurants, shops and arcades, all within walking distance. The beach road is lined with beautiful beach homes. There are also plenty of restaurants, pubs and shops along the beach road. Parking can be somewhat problematic at the beach, as many of the home owners do not allow parking in front or on the side of the residences. Parking IS possible, though, so get out and enjoy the beautiful coast. Take Highway 1A from either US Highway 1, or Highway 110 from I-95 and head east to Salisbury. You won't, and can't be disappointed.
