Pickman Park
About
Pickman Park is a public ocean beach in Massachusetts, managed by the City of Salem and sitting about half a mile from Salem itself. Summer is the natural season for a beach visit here. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Marblehead put July highs around 80°F with lows near 61°F, and August runs almost the same, with highs near 79°F. For something beyond the shoreline, several climbing areas lie a short drive away, including Harold A. King Forest at about 2 miles and Spring Pond Woods at under 3 miles. Mountain bikers can head to the Overlook Trail and Lower Fungo, both roughly 5 miles out.
