Who doesn't like “a trip to the seaside” to "take in the air"? Well that's exactly why one of Salem's hidden gems was created. Join local tour guides Sarah & Jeffrey as they chat all about Salem Willows Park. Things may have changed over the past 220 years, but we still have those same European white willow trees, there's still a boardwalk filled with restaurants and entertainment, and you can still dip your feet in the ocean.
