Board the Harbor: Paddle Beverly’s Quiet Coastline from Independence Park.
Launching from Independence Park, SUP Rentals - Beverly puts first-timers and seasoned paddlers alike onto a sheltered stretch of Salem Sound where stately Lothrop Street homes, historic Woodbury Point and Hospital Point, and the site of the first naval engagement of the American Revolution slide by at eye level. The operator’s friendly staff handle fittings and launch logistics so you can focus on the water, the shoreline architecture, and the seabirds and marine life that frequent the harbor.
