Independence Park is a beautiful city-owned park on the outer part of Beverly Harbor, Massachusetts. A small beach and rock jetty provide the setting for a beautiful paddle out at any tide.

Across the harbour, and just a 10 minute paddle away is the beautiful and historic Salem Willows Park, where you can get food or listen to live music scheduled often throughout the year. Travelling North East up the coast of Beverly and Beverly Farms provides an unmatched view of the sprawling estates that line the largely private coastline.

Several sandy beaches punctuate the numerous coves, and provide easy places for rest, lunch, and a quick swim. For the more adventurous (and experienced), several islands lie just a a few miles off shore and make for excellent paddling destinations and features to play near.
