| orientationDescription |
Salisbury Beach State Reservation extends 3.8 miles from south to north along the Atlantic Ocean from the Merrimack River to the New Hampshire border. This entire length of shoreline consists of a high-quality sandy beach. The Merrimack River enters the Atlantic Ocean at the southern end of Salisbury Beach, and the western sector of the Reservation is bordered by adjacent areas of salt marsh. This extensive barrier beach system plays a critical role in the protection of the Merrimack River estuary, along with associated salt marsh habitat, dune preservation, and habitat for threatened and endangered species and other nearby wildlife. In fall and winter, harbor seals often sun themselves on the jetty. |
