Things To Do
Castle Hill on the Crane Estate
If there are no private events this is a great place to walk around and enjoy a tour of a 1920s estate! There's even trails that go straight to Cranes Beach!
Choate Bridge Pub
This unassuming pub is one of our favorite spots! Shelby even has one of their discontinued tap handles. If you're dying to try the world famous Ipswich Clams this is the place to do it!
J.T. Farnham's
Not only was this place on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, but this may be the BEST clam chowder ever. Plus it's right on the Essex Marsh so it's views are amazing.
Russell Orchards
If you'd like some cider donuts and want to pick your own berries while you check out the charming farm animals, this place is perfect!
Bradley Palmer State Park
A beautiful view of the Ipswich River and a great place to hike or rent a kayak and explore!
Sandpiper Bakery
A delicious spot to grab coffee, a light lunch, and sit outside to enjoy Town Hill.
Coastal Mass. Brewing
Shelby is the Event & Marketing Manager here! If you're into craft beer at all this nano brewery in Beverly is the place to go. Beverly is just a 20min drive from Ipswich and has plenty of amazing restaurants also!
