From the reviews

This is one of the best kept secrets on the North Shore. Rentals, summer camp and storage! Hoorah! The launch point is off Gashouse Beach, a spot well known to local Marbleheaders, and one of the most picturesque areas on the water.

★★★★★ — Melanie, Aug 2019

Great space! Amazing access to the beach and you can walk out to the island during low tide. Really cool.

★★★★★ — Meghan, Sep 2025

Getting married at Little Harbor Boathouse Meeting Space

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
