What To Do in Salisbury This Summer
Hit the Arcade at Salisbury Beach
Kick it old school with a trip to Joe’s Playland or one of the other classic beachfront arcades. We’re talking retro pinball, skee-ball, racing games, and those beloved claw machines that might finally let you win that stuffed flamingo. Great for adults reliving their 90s beach memories.
Don’t Miss Fireworks and Movie Nights
Every Saturday night in July and August, the sky over Salisbury Beach lights up at 10:15 PM with a free fireworks display that’s best enjoyed with sand between your toes and ice cream in hand. On Thursday evenings, the beach transforms into an open-air movie theater, where family flicks play under the stars—bring a blanket and your favorite snacks.

Grab a Bite at a Local Favorite
You can’t visit Salisbury without indulging in a lobster roll or some legendary fried clams. Hit up Markey’s Lobster Pool for a seafood feast, or enjoy cocktails and ocean views at Seaglass Restaurant. Want something quick? The boardwalk snack shacks serve up everything from soft-serve to slushies—perfect for cooling down on a hot day.
Ride the Rail Trail
For those craving a break from the beach, hop on a bike and explore the Salisbury Ghost Trail or the nearby Old Eastern Marsh Trail. These scenic, shaded routes wind through marshlands and forests and are ideal for morning rides or peaceful evening strolls.
