Great historical area in salem to walk around. The lighthouse is out on a long Warf which overlooks Salem harbor. Great spot to take pictures and enjoy the views. Unfortunately there are no benches or tables to sit down.

Great historic spot. Beautiful view of salems waterfront

Beautiful and peaceful. Excellent place to sit and watch the clouds go by.

I been out there a few times its kewl but if ya Really want a Amazing Special place try Waikiki Beach, Winter Island .Salem Willows with the Lighthouse ( Which dates to like 1600s and has quite the history itself Wikipedia it ) in front and Fort Pickering directly behind ya which has an amazing story behind it also. You can feel the Spirits out there AMAZING . This pic was like 3 am on a Bicycle ride mid July Full Moon Blazing looking Due East out into the Atlantic Towards Europe

This was a really nice walk and a quiet place to reflect. Not a ton of traffic in the morning.

Mornings are very peaceful (only a few seabirds are around) and scenic, and free parking is nearby.

This is a lizard his name is finn

We saw this beautiful rainbow while we where walking back towards Salem. Gorgeous view of Marblehead.

Actually its just a small 2 floor light station and its located in the bay so not really open wide to the sea

If you are from a place that is not near the ocean, then you must visit this wharf and lighthouse while you are in Salem. This place really lets you feel what the ocean is all about, without having to be on a boat, and possibly get motion sickness. Its a good long walk, but its nice to think of how many boats and ships must have been tied there at one time. Picture the smell of the tar of the ships, the shouting of the sailors, the seagulls swooping, trying to snatch one of the fish being offloaded. All is quiet now, in comparison. A peaceful walk, on a sunny day, the sea breeze in your face.

Liked checking it out

This is a great little walk with a beautiful view! we like getting lunch near by and then walking to the lighthouse

Gorgeous spot.

A long walk to a short lighthouse

Very pretty and relaxing

Spent a pleasant afternoon here. Good cultural things

Its fun and open to the public to walk up and down this beautiful area.

Great views with a lot of history

The view is absolutely amazing but they should have more stone benches for those to sit and stay awhile.

Very nice its a shame a large part of the old wharf was destroyed in a storm. Hope they rebuild and fix it.

Nice photo area

Pretty view, always clean without any litter around.

Derby light house was fun and kids liked going to it, they only wish it was a light house to climb up in

Full moon made for awesome shoots

Its a very small and cute lighthouse.

Nice lighthouse in the Pickering Wharf area of Salem.

Wonderful views! Nice easy walk. Well worth the visit.

The long walk was cold and wet on our way out there, but the view was pretty amazing! Good experience!

One of the shortest lighthouse after a snowfall.

We followed the red stripe that leads tourists around town to find this gem. The walk leading up to the light station is lovely, and even though the light itself isnt the most breathtaking, the views from every angle around it makes up for it. With that being said the light itself is still something to admire... Especially around the time the sun sets over the water in background.

Resplenden!

Lovely walk

Great walk on a nice day. A lot of history on that wharf and they have done a nice job of playing educational material along the walk to the end. This area provides a delightful place for a picnic or to just relax.

This historic wharf is a short, and enriching walk from the House of Seven Gables.

Check it out at night! Especially if its foggy.

Nice walk out to the light station. Not much to see once you arrive at the end of the pier, but there is plenty to learn with the educational exhibits on the way.

Awesome look out point

Love love love New England !!!

Cute little lighthouse. Lovely views from the wharf.

Beautiful small lighthouse with views of the ocean and Marblehead

Always a great walk before or after dinner. I got married here 3 years ago so it must be a great spot

Just a short walk from downtown Salem the views alone are worth the walk. Its very quiet and you can see the entire harbor.

It was a little foggy when my family and I visited but it was a wonderful hike to the Light Station.

Great view

Nice little walk out to the lighthouse, with little spots along the way with historical notes that the kids found amusing.

Love the view!

Beautiful to visit on a warm, sunny day.

Good view

Beautiful place to sit and read.
