Do

• Salisbury Beach. The beach is lifeguard protected from Memorial Day to Labor day, weather permitting.

Salisbury’s beachfront is the perfect place to take a long walk and enjoy all the beach has to offer allowing beach goers a place to enjoy summer activities like sun tanning, snorkeling, and boogey boarding. Some other attractions include Joe’s Play Land Arcade, physic readings, and many small shops.
