Day Trip: Biking Boston's Gold Coast Tour

We Begin with a history of Lynch Park before we head next door to Rice Beach and Hospital Point Lighthouse. Pedaling north our next stop will be Mingo Beach. Onward to Tuck's Point to see the mouth of Manchester Harbor from the gazebo on the water and the location of the house that merged the Banks of England and the Federal Reserve. Then we will get a snack in Manchester-by-the-Sea before heading to Rafe's Chasm in Magnolia. We will lock up the bikes and hike out to this glorious cliff above the ocean. A quick trip to Hammond Castle and we loop back by the sea and feel the sand in between our toes on Manchester Beach. Downhill we pedal and take a sidestep onto Ocean Ave. past the salt marsh and beach. We head toward Tuck's Point, but take a right on the bridge instead to see some fine mansions. Then past West Beach before we head back to Lynch Park.

Please bring your own bike. Bike alternatives do exist in Salem in which you can bike over the Salem-Beverly Bridge to Lynch Park.

The tour takes anywhere from 4.5hs to 6hrs.
