Things To Do
Downtown
Take a stroll up Main Street to find cute little shops, art galleries, and lots of different restaurants.
The Food Scene
Gloucester is known for some of their outstanding restaurants and locally caught seafood. Here are some places we recommend if you're looking for a bite: Tonno, 1606 Restaurant & Oyster Bar, Blue Collar Lobster Co., Seaport Grille, Lobsta Land Restaurant, Minglewood Harborside, and Virgilio’s Bakery.
Cape Ann Lanes/Laneside Pub & Brewery
Beers & bowling? Sounds fun to us!
Hammond Castle Museum
Looking for something different to do? Go explore the sprawling medieval-style castle built in the 1920s. For Love on the Spectrum fans - James went here on one of his dates!
Bearskin Neck
Take a ride over to Rockport to discover Bearskin Neck. It's a beautiful and historic peninsula with unique shops, galleries, and ocean views.
Downtown Essex
Essex is right around the corner from Gloucester. It's filled with fun antique shops, great seafood, and some breweries that are worth trying.
