Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Salem, Collins Cove is a peaceful waterfront retreat that’s perfect for you and your pup! With its scenic harbor views, walking paths, and open green space, this spot is a favorite among local dog owners. Locals know that early mornings and evenings are the best times to visit—when the cove is calm, and the sunrise or sunset paints the sky. It’s one of those special places where you can soak in nature while your dog gets some fresh air and exercise
While there’s no designated off-leash area, it’s a great place to unwind with your pup while taking in the coastal beauty of Salem. Walk along the beach and let your dog cool off on the shoreline. And if you’re up for a longer stroll, you can easily connect to nearby paths leading toward the Salem Common or historic neighborhoods.
