crowninshield island

This is a breathtaking island that can be accessed during low tide during the summer months. It is a great sit back and sun and splash in the water destination. It gives you a little time to explore the rocky coast and more.

Take a picnic to the island with your friends or family. Great beachcombing, walking, relaxing, and scenery. Be sure to leave when the tide starts to comes in!!

What a hidden treasure! The EASIEST way to find this is to use a GPS (walking or driving) with Harding Lane, Marblehead as the address. It's at the very end of Harding Lane that the pathway starts (there is a sign there)... check online for low tide times and just walk on over! It's great! To your right there is a grassy hill perfect for picnicking. To your left is a treed hill with a rough footpath out to a couple of beautiful clear ocean views! Not easily walkable for small children or anyone afraid of tripping, however....

This is a very pretty island, easily accessible by kayak from Marblehead (or can walk to it at low tide, I've read but have not seen). Nice place for a picnic, sunning, views, and even a swim. Highly recommended! Just a note - No services of any sort available on the island.
