Things To Do
Eastern Point Lighthouse
Serving as a guide to ships entering the scenic and commercial Gloucester harbor from the Atlantic Ocean, this 36-foot tall cylindrical brick tower was built in 1832 and automated in 1986. A must-see (and right by our venue!). Take a stroll along the Dog Bar Breakwater for stunning views of the harbor and Boston skyline on clear days.
Good Harbor Beach
White sands, rolling waves, and amazing sunrise views. Great for a long walk or a morning coffee on the water. If weather permits, this is a great beach day spot for sunbathing and getting your toes wet.
Stage Fort Park
Stage Fort Park is a scenic and historic public park located along the waterfront in Gloucester, Massachusetts. It marks the landing site of the city’s first settlers in 1623, who established fishing stages on this very ground. Today, it serves as a vibrant hub for outdoor recreation, community gatherings, and celebrations.
7 Seas Whale Watch
One of the best whale-watching experiences in New England. Boats leave from downtown Gloucester. The trip out to the whales usually takes between 45 minutes to a little over an hour depending on the location of the whales. Once you arrive on the feeding grounds we will spend approximately 1.5 hours with the whales. Your onboard naturalist will provide valuable insight into the lives of the whales you see and explain the behaviors you observe the whales engaged in.
