Manchester-by-the-Sea

Massachusetts fishing village

Manchester-by-the-Sea is a coastal town in northeastern Massachusetts, distinguished by its hyphenated name from the many other Manchesters in the United States and England.

The town gained wider recognition from the 2016 film of the same name.

The formal name dates to 1989, though locals often simply call it Manchester.
