Gloucester Beaches |

|
Gloucester's favored place for a hot summer afternoon is Good Harbor Beach in East Gloucester, on Route 127A toward Rockport. |

Good Harbor Beach is the most popular beach near the town center, and will be crowded if the day is really hot. Long Beach, the northeastern extension of Good Harbor Beach just a bit farther along Route 127A, has its own parking facilities, but is narrower and not as picturesque. The next beach northeast along the coast is Pebble Beach, within the boundaries of Rockport, but there's no public parking (residents only). Although it's within the boundaries of the town of Gloucester, Wingaersheek Beach is reached from MA Route 128 south of the town center. Watch for signs. Coffin Beach is just northwest of Wingaersheek. There's also a small beach at the water's edge in Stage Fort Park, south of the center of Gloucester. Want a four-mile-long beach that's part of a nature reservation? Head for Crane Beach in nearby Ipswich MA.
