Great new restaurants at the Pavillion, summer entertainment, pizza, fried dough, ice cream and fireworks in the center, as well as discount shops for all your beach needs.
Where to start? We are from out of state and found this beach seriously lacking. First there was a 15-20 min wait just to get into the park. When we paid the $15 out of state fee we really expected this to be a nice place. There is plenty of parking and a lot of access to the beach areas. There is a little inlet that is better for smaller kids who wouldn't be able to deal with the strong waves and current on the ocean side. They also have a fairly large playground. They do have toilets and water to wash hands. But these are the end of my positive comments. The beach was fairly crowded. The sand was incredibly hot. I'm not just being a pansy here. My husband burned his feet from walking without shoes on. The one good part about the hot sand is that you can warm up your feet when they are close to hypothermic from the freezing cold water. All of this could have been ignored as just circumstance if it wasn't for the lack of facilities. I was not impressed with the bathrooms as far as cleanliness. At least they did have soap to wash hands. And it wasn't smelly. There is absolutely nowhere to rinse your feet after coming out of the sand and no shower facilities. Maybe I'm just spoiled because we come from a place where these things are standard. Overall, if you're desperate for some beach time, this place will suffice. Otherwise, save up and head somewhere else.
The seashore/beach itself is a way under rated beach. Long and beautiful and clean. If you enter the beach from the amusement park center, it may be more congested but you will have access to easy parking, rest rooms and old fashion food stands, arcades and shops.. Find an way in heading north a bit, and you will have a more relaxing shoreline.
Salisbury Beach is a 3.5 mile long, sandy beach. It is anchored by the Salisbury State Reservation. The Reservation has bathrooms and a campground. This is an ocean beach with beautiful rolling waves and a great space for swimming and sunbathing. Try to go there at low tide when there is plenty of beach. It is staffed by lifeguards. The water is clean and inviting and the price to park is very reasonable at about $10-15 per day.
dIt is not the Salisbury beach of yesteryear. It could be a lot cleaner and the opportunities to make it so much better have not been used. Business after business has closed down. It is a very sad place but still a beach is a beach and that is the best part.
I love Salisbury Beach!!!!! love to come here always feel safe Great Family beach... But people REALLY clean up all your trash I see people leave the dirty diapers ,cups and trash REALLY!!!!! what you bring in bring out .or throw out.......If you want to be a slob stay home and throw you trash on your own ground...
This beach is cute it's nothing spectacular but the water is beautiful. Came here on a Sunday it was crowded but not bad for 2pm. I will definitely come back and spend more time on the beach instead of walking around.
Willey's candy & ice cream store in business approx.75 yrs. top quality. There is not an awful lot to do in the way of shopping or dining at the beach need to go into the town a bit.
Salisbury Beach is one of the best kept secrets ever. It never gets written up as one of the best beaches in Massachusetts. But it is. There are atleast 5 miles of beach, great for walking, pizza and clam stands if you choose, but there are also several very wonderful restaurants; Seaglass and Capri Grille.
I was taken here by a good friend this past weekend. I had never been to this beach, and was really surprised just how nice it was. There was plenty of parking ($9) and a pretty easy walk to the beach itself. We camped out near the jetties so we could see the ocean side, and all the boats coming in. This is a great little stretch of beach. It was a Saturday, and 75-80 degrees, so the beach had plenty of people, but it didn't seem like the mos scene up in Hampton. The sand is great, the beach seems to stretch for at least a mile or two. As like most New England beaches, the ocean is bone chilling cold, but the water is clear and quite nice. I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised by the beauty of this spot, and I'm looking forward to going back.
