So long, sweet summer 💔  It is rare to be able to fully anticipate the outcome of our decisions. There are always pros and cons. Upsides and downsides. And there’s always the question of, “what if this doesn’t work out?”  But one thing I knew going into it, was just how much we would love living in a coastal Massachusetts town. I never had a doubt. I knew from day one this would be the best decision we ever made. And it was.  #southshorema #coastallife #coastallifestyle #coastalliving #paradiseonearth

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 #
