Things To Do

Gloucester Suggestions

Lighthouse Tour

There are 6 lighthouses you can find around the island, and can be accessed by land or by sea: Thatcher Twin Lights, Straitsmouth Island, Halibut Point, 10 Pound Island, Eastern Point and Annisquam. Try to find them all! Parking restrictions may apply, complete a web search for more details.

Schooner Adventure

If you are here a day early, we'd recommend sailing on Schooner Adventure! This boat has a very special place in Corey's family story.

Stage Fort Park

Holds a special place in the heart of many Cape Ann'ers. Great place to watch the boats in Gloucester Harbor, walk, picnic, etc. Sarah loved climbing the big rock when she was little.

Common Crow Natural Market

The best natural food store out there. A museum of beautiful foods and bulk spices.

Drift

Our favorite bar in Gloucester, and Corey's long time gig spot.

Short & Main

Our favorite choice for a classy dinner.

Mystery Train

The record store we compare all other record stores to - just so good.

Long Beach Dairy Maid

Ice cream on a beach day in summer, what more could we ask for?

Rockport Suggestions

Brothers Brew Coffee Shop

Many of our early dates were to Brother's Brew for a coffee, donut, and breakfast sandwich. We'd then walk our treats over the Front or Back beach to eat, while watching seabirds go about their business.

The Fish Shack Bar & Restaurant

Our Rockport go-to for a classic seafood meal.

Old Garden Beach

Rockport spot for beach hangs.

The Atlantic Path

There's a footpath (public right of way) by 88 Phillips Ave that will lead you out to the oceanside where you can walk the rocks.
