Learn More About Essex, MA

Known for its historical impact in shipbuilding, Essex, MA, may be a small seaside community, but it continues to have a big impact on the maritime industry. Essex played a vital role in the boatbuilding industry from the mid 1800s to the early 1900s, resulting in the town’s identity still being rooted and tied to the water, boating, shellfishing, and maritime recreation.

Located 30 miles North of Boston, the small 14.1 sq mile town has a high land-to-water ratio, making it a popular summer destination for tourists. From waterfront dining to clamming and maritime recreation, Essex is a prime example of quintessential New England charm and history.

Guided by its strong historic identity and fueled by local pride, Essex remains a connected community driven by regional tourism and continuing its maritime traditions.
