Report Review
We've never been disappointed at a Safe Harbor marina. Great staff and facilities are the norm. We received clear instructions coming in and help with our lines. While the transient face dock is open to wakes during the day, they die down at night with the traffic.
The House of Seven Gables is across the street from the marina's pedestrian gate, and "downtown" is pretty much right there.
Coffee, and muffins/donuts on Sunday morning... and a quite nice deck overlooking the marina/harbor.
Salem/Hawthorne Cove is a go-to overnight for us if the wind is right.
Update: we spent two nights on a mooring... multiple launches service their busy (on weekends) mooring field. Hawthorne Cove stays on our short list for day or two (or three) getaway.
