Very simple and easy way to dock and enjoy a few hours in Manchester. The dock person did a nice job making it work for several boaters wanting to tie up, including me.

Super nice staff. No power or water on the docks though. Right in the heart of town.

This is a perfect dock. The staff are great and the location is awesome. If they had power hookups they could charge a fortune.

The people at the Town Dock are GREAT. The downtown is right there and the singing beach is a short walk away.
Always a good time

Nice place right in town. Restaurants and grocery, but no laundromat. Only negative is noise from the occasional train. Earliest is about 6am. Future upgrade plans include showers and restrooms. Very well sheltered.

Wonderful location, very nice town and some great restaurants (and beach) in easy walking distance from the dock. However, the commuter train runs right next to the dock so be prepared for a 4:30am wake up call by train and bells. Still, I would highly recommend a visit to this beautiful location. If you bring a dog there is a great park for walking right there.

Great staff, well maintained dock right in town.

The dock staff are always friendly and helpful. It’s a difficult job to deal with the demanding boating public and limited space but I am always impressed with their demeanor.
About Town of Manchester-by-the-Sea
Manchester-by-the-Sea is one of Massachusetts’s hidden treasures. The town’s new transient docks offer visiting boaters direct access to the center of this quaint New England town. Right from the docks you can walk to a variety of restaurants, shops, parks and beaches.
Enjoy a meal at one of the many restaurants Manchester has to offer, or if you’re looking for a relaxing day on the beach, Singing Beach, is walking distance from the docks. The walk is shaded and you can pick up an ice cream cone or a cup of coffee on the way.
Manchester-by-the-Sea is a beautiful harbor and we look forward to sharing its beauty and character with you.
