Chandler Hovey Park

So beautiful here. Amazing views from everywhere. Could spend hours here just hanging out. Love coming here. If you are in the area, you should stop here!

Beautiful, scenic park on Marblehead Neck. The park has great views of the harbor from all sides. The park is also home to Marblehead Lighthouse, a very unique lighthouse for the area. Great spot for a picnic or just watching the boats come in.

Really cool place to just relax, enjoy the sun and the breeze, and ogle other people’s cute dogs. Great views, I’m glad I drove by this place after leaving the beach :) This place has an interesting layout, it’s kind of a peninsula I guess.

I don’t really know how to describe this place other than its a little piece of heaven on earth. Take a ride around the beautiful Marblehead Neck during the spring or summer and take it all in, the beautiful houses, the smell, the water, its an overwhelming feeling of euphoria all dipped into one. My girlfriend who grew up here had been raving about this place and she was so excited for me to see it and she knows her stuff, so of course naturally i was excited and it’s one of those places that you really can’t appreciate it until your there. It was so surreal walking out of the parking lot and just seeing the rocks, the green grass and just the beautiful waves of cascading blue water as far as the eye could see and boats all maneuvering around the waters. I can clearly see why she is a «Nautical girl» because growing up in a town like Marblehead with a view like this is UNBELIEVABLE!!!
JAW DROPPINGLY BEAUTIFUL is really the only way i can describe it and i don’t know if that’s even doing it justice.

A
little
park
Chandler Hovey Park is a small park with less than 4 total acres. It is located on the northern most tip of Marblehead Neck and has a small, rather rocky beach for swimming and some picnic tables and a few benches. it’s a popular diving spot and also seems to have a lot of weddings and celebrations.
The views are beautiful, especially in the winter. However the main attraction of the park is that it is the home of Marblehead Lighthouse. The light was built in 1896 and several smaller lights once stood on the same location. The present one is over 100 feet tall and is a unique skeleton construction. No tours of the tower or museums or gift shops. Just the lighthouse itself. People have very divided opinions about the aesthetic of this particular light. Realistically it is not as beautiful as many other New England lights but it is certain unique and cannot be mistaken for any other.
