Everything Else

Most interesting down-town gallery. Rocky Neck art colony (2 miles away) and Bearskin neck art colony (4 miles, in Rockport), are great bets too!

GLORIOUS park, great views of Gloucester and everything around. Crescent "cressy" beach is a wonderful little cove to spend an afternoon, and there are public restrooms at the park.
