About This Access Site
Old Landing Wharf offers a public concrete boat ramp providing convenient access to Sippican Harbor and Buzzards Bay. Located on Otis Street (Route 3A) in Marion, this municipally-owned facility accommodates boats of various sizes and includes parking for approximately 30 trailers. As a town-owned launch, it is generally open to Massachusetts residents, though non-resident parking may be limited.
Paddlers and boaters should be aware that water levels can affect launch conditions, particularly at low tide. The facility lacks a dock or float system, so plan accordingly depending on your vessel type. Given its popularity, especially on weekends, arriving early is recommended to secure parking. From here, you'll have access to the calm waters of Sippican Harbor and can venture into Buzzards Bay, making it a good base for exploring the area's protected coastal waters.
