State Pier on Water Street is the home berth for the Mayflower II reproduction. The surrounding harbor area is highly walkable and connects the ship to nearby historical sites.

You will find metered and paid parking lots near the pier. The main Plimoth Patuxet museum campus is a separate stop, located 2.5 miles south of this waterfront area.
