July 21, 2009
When: Thursday, July 23rd, from 8:00 to 9:00 pmWhere: Salisbury Beach State Reservation, Beach Road, Route 1A, Salisbury, MA
Maritime Night Hike At Salisbury Beach State Reservation
If you want to learn about the maritime history of Salisbury Beach and enjoy an evening exploring the Salisbury Beach coastline, take one of the Thursday evening hikes/walks offered by Salisbury Beach State Reservation during the summer.
Join the reservation’s staff educator for a journey back through time along the Salisbury beach coastline.
For more than 100 years, surfmen (predecessors of the modern day Coast Guard) patrolled this stretch of beach in search of stranded vessels. This maritime evening hike will retrace their route, discover the grandeur of the beach at night, along with local tales of maritime heritage, heroism
and adventure.
With a little luck you may even glimpse a few of the many amazing nocturnal creatures –
hidden in trees or cast up by the waves — that these surfmen would have witnessed on their journey
through the night.
Where To Meet:
Meet at the Interpretive Nature Center adjacent to the John Currier Recreation Area and
Pavilion on the shore of the Merrimack River.
This hike/walk will last 1 hour.
