Choate Island Day 2026
Spend a day with us in celebration of Choate Island – the crown jewel of the Crane Wildlife Refuge. Here, deer and foxes roam through fields that once housed herds of sheep, and osprey fly over breathtaking views of Essex Bay. The island was first home to indigenous farmers and fishers, then to generations of the Choate family, and was later a retreat for Cornelius and Miné Crane, who loved the place so much they decided to be buried at the summit.
This year, we are again offering both a Self-Guided and Guided experience. Both will allow visitors to explore the extent of the island. The Guided experience will be led by a trained guide for the first 90 minutes of the program on a more thoroughly interpreted walk across the island, after which visitors will be free to take their time getting back to the boat dock. The Guided experience starts at the island-side boat dock and ends at the Choate Island summit. However, we will have staff and volunteers scattered across the island to provide interpretation for self-guided visitors as well. See ticketing options below for Guided and Self-Guided tours.
Park at Crane Beach, which is at the end of Argilla Road. Parking will be free for this event. Board our shuttle bus to take you straight down to the boat dock (less than 5-minute drive). There you can check in (if you purchased tickets online) or buy tickets “at the door” (if available) before boarding the ferry to the island, which is less than a 10-minute boat trip one-way. The shuttles will run continuously between 10AM and 3PM. The last boat returns from the island at 3PM.
Below is a sampling of events for the day (subject to change):
Talks on Choate Island life, human, and natural history
Proctor Barn open house
Choate House self-guided tours
Hikes to the Crane Burial Site
Self-guided walking tour
Kids scavenger hunt
Shoreline walk and beachcombing
Light refreshments will be served. Feel free to bring a picnic lunch but remember to carry out all that you carry in, and please, no alcohol.

Beverly's Ghost Gear Challenge
Speaker: Capt. Peter Dickman, Beverly Harbormaster
Talk Description
Lobstering has shaped the North Shore for centuries, transforming lobster from “poor man’s food” into a valuable commercial fishery and a core part of the region’s maritime heritage. As fishing gear evolved from wood to long-lasting wire, new challenges emerged. Lost or abandoned lobster traps can persist on the seafloor for decades, continuing to capture marine life in a process called ghost fishing. This derelict gear harms habitat, affects fisheries, and is a growing concern in harbors worldwide.
Harbormaster Peter Dickman will explain how recent changes in maritime law have made it possible for coastal communities to address this issue and will present plans for the Beverly Harbor Derelict Trap Recovery Project. Funded through a Fishing Trap Removal Assessment and Prevention program grant from the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, the project will use scuba-based recovery operations over two winter periods to locate, remove, and document abandoned traps, improve marine habitat, and support sustainable reuse or recycling of recovered materials. Learn about this collaborative effort to protect marine life, support sustainable fishing, and honor the working waterfront tradition.
Free and open to adults. Questions? Contact Ona at ridenour@noblenet.org.

What Can I Do With My Old Barrels & Bins?
Green Beverly is partnering with the Beverly Waste Reduction Committee and the Sustainability office of the City of Beverly on a weekend-long effort to give unwanted trash and recycling barrels a second life.
If you’ve got a container gathering dust, bring it by and swap it for something you can actually use, like a rain barrel or yard waste bin. Anything that doesn’t get claimed will go to local nonprofits so nothing goes to waste. This only works if the community shows up, and we mean that literally.
We’d love to see your family, friends, and neighbors join us. Consider this your invitation to make it a fun weekend project together!
The Moth Ball
Join us for an evening insect safari! Scout the dark for moths, caterpillars, and other night-flying pollinators, glowing under UV Blacklight right on the farm.
Pollinators work the night shift too! Moths and their caterpillars pollinate crops and native plants after dark, alongside bees and other animals by day. Spend an evening with a blacklight and a sheet, and see who shows up - from hawkmoths to underwings - and learn why protecting their habitat helps protect our harvests and wild landscapes too. The later you stay, the more you can see! Ecology lesson provided by Lepidopterist Teá Montagna and New Entry staff.

Make time for a traditional boiled lobster or lobster roll, chowder, or chicken, etc. and catch up with your Beverly friends and neighbors at Lynch Park.

Meanwhile, local businesses, elected officials and politicians, and nonprofit organizations will be set up around the park to share information – and usually some fun lawn games – with you.

For parents of young children, enter your child in the “Spirit of LobsterFest” costume contest and your little crustacean might just win a prize!
