Things to do

Newburyport

There are so many shops and restaurants in Newburyport & it's right on the water. One of our favorite date night towns when we are on the North Shore! You can't go wrong with any food option here!

Salem

We're approaching Halloween! There are so many spooky events during the month of October and thousands of people travel to Salem all dressed up for the festivities.

Crane Beach

Cranes is one of the most beautiful beaches on the North Shore! The beach is dog friendly during the month of October

Plum Island

Another great beach option if you're looking for a fall beach walk! Plum island is right off of Newburyport, so you can visit both!

True North Ale Company

One of our favorites (and it happens to be in the same vicinity as Cranes!)

RiverWalk Brewing Co.

Another fun brewery right outside of downtown Newburyport! Dog friendly outside!

Essex County Brewing Co

Another great brewery option!

Russell Orchards

Apple picking will be at its peak! Russell Orchards has so much to do in the fall from apple picking to a winery on site

Maudslay State Park

This is a beautiful hiking area in Newburyport with so many different trails.

Bradley Palmer State Park

Another beautiful hiking trail in Topsfield. The Willowdale Estate is actually on the same property. Lots of trails and dog friendly!

Richardson's Ice Cream

Best ice cream around! Mini golfing and driving range on site as well

Marini Farm Stand

Topsfield Fair

Mill River Winery

Small local winery in the area with outdoor seating and firepits
