Guidebook for Salisbury
Food Scene
Coffee, breakfast sandwiches, and late night milk shakes! They also rent bikes and stand-up paddle boards. Groundswell offers a great (and diverse) menu to please everyone in your group. Walk down the beach in the morning for a coffee, or grab an iced tea and acai bowl (trust me, they're delicious)! Great vibes here, with indoor and outdoor seating looking over the beach. It's work-friendly, with free WiFi and plenty of seats. Additional seats are available inside if you need a quieter space. Hope you love it as much as I do! - Tiffani

Beach Pizza!
I'll be honest, beach pizza isn't my thing. That said, my family would KILL me if I didn't recommend Tripoli's beach pizza to people who visit. It's unique to the North Shore, so you really should try it before you go. It comes with 2 toppings: Pepperoni, or Extra cheese. I'll save the 'extra cheese' surprise for you when you get it :) Tripoli's has a nice sauce (on the sweeter side). You either LOVE it, or leave it. It's a great option for big groups, and you can carry it back down the beach to a hungry crowd. -Tiffani

Parks & Nature
A real bird lover's paradise ... this refuge is protected most of the year to keep the perfect habitat for species like the piping plover and saltmarsh sparrow. We've seen snowy owls in winter, and bald eagles soaring overhead. It's a special place. Check out their website before venturing out, as parts of the refuge close throughout the year due to breeding activities of certain protected species'.
