[[Wenham Lake]] lies within the town and in neighboring Beverly, and several other smaller ponds lie within town. A stretch of the [[Salem Beverly Waterway Canal]] passes through town as well, and the southernmost portion of the [[Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary]] lies in the western part of town. Wenham is bordered on the south by [[Beverly, Massachusetts|Beverly]], on the east by [[Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts|Manchester-by-the-Sea]], on the north by [[Hamilton, Massachusetts|Hamilton]], on the northwest by [[Topsfield, Massachusetts|Topsfield]], and on the west by [[Danvers, Massachusetts|Danvers]]. Wenham lies {{convert|6|mi|0}} north of [[Salem, Massachusetts|Salem]] and {{convert|21|mi}} north-northeast of [[Boston]].
