Welcome to Gloucester, Massachusetts 🌊🦞🛟  Gloucester is one of the most beautiful coastal places on the north shore and one of my favorite places in general! There’s so much to do year-round but summer and early fall is when the area really shines.  Here’s a few things I suggest doing:  🏨Stay or grab a meal and a cocktail at @beauport_hotel - It is hands down one of my favorite places in Mass. A pool or beach day here will make all your summer dreams come true  🚶‍♀️Check out the coffee shops and boutique stores downtown - Right within walking distance from Beauport!  🚘 Drive along Atlantic Road - A scenic route that winds along the coast, offering breathtaking views of the ocean and rocky coastline.  ⛱️ Visit Niles Beach - A popular spot for swimming, sunbathing, and picnicking in Gloucester. The beach is located in a quiet, residential area and offers stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean.  🛥️ Book a boating excursion - Gloucester is a great place to go boating, and there are many companies that offer boating excursions for tourists. You can choose from a variety of options, including whale watching, fishing, and sightseeing tours.  🏰 Explore Hammond Castle - A medieval-style castle located on the coast of Gloucester. The castle was built in the 1920s by John Hays Hammond Jr., a wealthy inventor, and features an impressive collection of art and antiques.  ⚓️ Check out Fisherman’s Memorial - A statue located in Gloucester that pays tribute to the city’s fishing industry. The statue features a fisherman looking out to sea, and it is a popular spot for taking photos.  🪨 Check out Rafe’s Chasm - A natural wonder located on the coast of Gloucester. The chasm is a narrow crevice in the rocks that leads to a small cove where you can see the waves crashing against the shore.  🦪 Get dinner at Seaport Grille - A popular waterfront restaurant in Gloucester that serves fresh seafood and other local specialties. The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating with stunning views of the harbor!  ✔️Save this for your adventures on the north shore of Massachusetts!  #northshorema #gloucester #gloucesterma #capeann #

Comment “Sail” and I’ll send you a link.⛵️  Soaking in all the South Shore summer days while we can, which means mid-day beach visits with the floof. In love with this golden retriever tote I was gifted made of recycled Sails from @seabagsmaine.  Love the style, durability, water resistant feature, and how much it holds for our adventures. It’s mostly to fit all of Morgan’s things.🙊  #southshorema #coastalliving

A little about me as we head into what I like to call Cozy Season in New England.☕️  I have tried my best to show up a little less curated lately as it’s a style of content I’m not super seasoned in. For the majority of my content creation journey, I’ve focused on travel & experiences, which often leads to a more polished style. I love creating travel guides and itineraries for you all but I also love showing up as I am and sharing more of the every day.  If you love New England, coastal living, and all things cozy, then you’re in the right place.
