spider Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 We're planing on paddling out to the Miseries and general area this week. I see people launch from Manchester Harbor or Tucks Point. Any big difference between the two ? Are they both public launch sites? Figure boat traffic will be light ...any places to avoid and what not ? thanks.

Tucks point is residents only; there was a thread earlier in the summer on it. Dont know if they relax this after labor day ? Manchester harbor has a small number of non resident parking spots but might be a difficult launch at low tide. West beach, Beverly might also be an option post labor day. Barry.

bob budd Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I have used West Beach in the "off season" but I'm not sure when the town stops harassing non-sticker parking. As a Beverly resident I'm not allowed to park there "in season". Other sites are a parking lot at the corner of the cove across from Kettle Island and Tuck Point in Beverly in the shadow of the Beverly-Salem bridge. Both of these are best kept to a few cars. Kevin Beckwith also uses a launch site in Salem Harbour, Forest River? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
