Review:

Pickering Wharf is a marina and harborside shopping destination with historic landmarks and other interesting features as well as local shops and plenty of waterfront dining opportunities. Many are attracted to the wharf by the huge replica of the Friendship of Salem ship, which is docked just offshore. The ship is quite interesting to visit and has been restored in very careful detail. Free tours of the ship are offered during certain time periods. There is a little sandy beach nearby as well as plenty of shops to walk in and out of while you leisurely shop for souvenirs or other items. You certainly won’t go hungry during your visit with a wide variety of restaurants also available.
