Sailors, power boaters, and paddlers can launch and keep their boats at this town-owned wharf in Marion. From here, you can easily relax on Sippican Harbor or venture out to the open waters of Buzzards Bay.
Features
Located at the head of Sippican Harbor, Old Landing Wharf offers Marion and Rochester residents access to the bustling waters of the harbor and Buzzards Bay. The concrete boat ramp next to the wharf offers a place for boats large and small to launch into the harbor. Boaters can purchase a wharf slip or dinghy storage to keep their boats at Old Landing Wharf for the summer. (There’s often a wait list, so call early in the season!)
Habitats & Wildlife
Sippican Harbor’s deep, sparkling waters attract thousands of boaters each summer. From here, it’s an easy cruise out to the open waters of Buzzards Bay, where excellent fishing and sailing awaits. Kayakers can explore the inner harbor’s marshy, protected shorelines, as well as nearby Hammett Cove. These tidal waters are full of life. Look for cormorants perched on nearby rocks and mooring balls, drying their ink-black feathers in the sun. Above, ospreys soar through the skies in summer, searching for fish swimming just below the water’s surface.
