With a gameplan can be lots of fun!, Tue 26 Aug 2003
Marblehead is beautiful but difficult for a newcomer to navigate. We found parking to be difficult to find and were surprised there was no clear way to enjoy walking near the harbor (i.e. boardwalk or clear public area). We ended up parking for lunch and then getting in the car again to go back to the beach near Marblehead Neck. We never did find an easy way to navigate the 'charming shops' with 3 children and therefore skipped them. The children enjoyed the beach and playground, though.
