Parks And Recreation
Singing Beach, Manchester-by-the-Sea
Fondly nicknamed “Dog Beach,” by
current and former Endicott students, this is a great beach to get away from
campus. Perfect for surfing, swimming, or making sand castles (Note: there are
no lifeguards during the off-season). During the months of November to April,
the beach is open to dogs and their owners. If you’re feeling stressed, take a
ride down to doggie paradise and pet some puppies that are often running
around. It’s not only a great sight to see, but it’s medically proven that
playful canines can help relieve stress. Check the website for any recreational
updates.
Lynch Park, Beverly
Need a place to run around and just
let off some steam? Lynch Park has a great view of the ocean, as well as
different places to roam. There are beaches, volleyball courts, and pleasure
gardens among other attractions. It’s also a great place to go to study or do homework.
Check the Beverly Citizen or the “bevrec” website to find out about free
concerts and other events happening at the park.
Salem Willows Park, Salem
Salem has a nice little corner of
paradise that is very similar to Jenks’ Boardwalk in New Jersey. Right on the
water, there are plenty of scenic overlooks, hiking trails, arcades/casino, and
restaurants. It’s a perfect place to spend a Saturday off campus. The hours change
during peak season, so check their website to see when the hours match your
schedule and directions to Salem Neck.
Theaters
Cabot Street Cinema Theater, Beverly
This isn’t your average theater.
This theater shows both domestic and foreign films, often bringing back recent
which opponent is the endicott football team playing during homecoming weekend
cult classics (such as Inception) into theaters. It’s styled after a movie
palace of 1920 and often only shows one movie at a time. Check the website for
local listings.
Cinema Salem, Salem
This movie theater does more than
just show films. It’s a café, an art gallery, a live music venue, and home to
one of America’s largest all-documentary film festivals. Located right in East
India Square Mall in Salem, it’s only a short drive from campus and a much more
relaxing movie experience than your regular theater, and cheaper as well.
Hollywood Hits, Danvers
A cheaper option than your regular
movie theater. They tend to show more art movies and Sundance Film festivals,
often showing movies that aren’t shown over at AMC Loews.
