Journey to authentic Gloucester

Consider extending your travel plans in 2022. We suggest you add Gloucester, Massachusetts to your bucket list for that truly authentic adventure! Just 45 minutes by car or train from downtown Boston, Gloucester is home to America’s oldest seaport. Our coastal community and sometimes salty city offers so much to see and do all year long. Plan your visit to experience our hometown spirit, maritime history, fresh seafood, spectacular working waterfront, the arts, and an abundance of natural beauty.

Renew, Refuel, and Recharge through Nature

The old saying goes, “salt air does one good”! If you’re looking to spend more time outdoors to exercise or meditate, Gloucester’s rugged coastline and beautiful beaches may be just what you are seeking! Award-winning Good Harbor Beach, Wingaersheek Beach, Pavilion Beach, and the Backshore offer ideal, tranquil surroundings to take in a mindful stroll, while you breathe in the fresh air and delight in the picturesque views. During the winter months dogs are allowed to frolic on Gloucester’s beaches, so bring your furry friend along.
