Welcome to Saltwater Bookstore

Saltwater Bookstore is located in the beautiful, seaside town of Marblehead, MA. Nestled in the heart of the historic district, Saltwater's storefront at 134 Washington Street was built in 1790 and is full of classic New England charm.

Thoughtfully designed with a cozy, coastal vibe, we invite you to spend time browsing our curated adult and children's rooms, enjoying our custom reading nooks, and engaging with other local book lovers.

Saltwater loves being your community bookstore - stop in and see why we were named one of Zibby Owen’s Six Bookstores I Wish I Could Spend All Day In!
