Facing Gloucester Harbor, this is a relatively small sandy beach with good swimming. Its a very pleasant setting with a high rocky knoll behind. Because the park surrounds the beach you can get out of the sun easily if you want. The view across the harbor as you sit on the beach is picturesque and constantly changing with a parade of distant whale watch, fishing and sailboats going by. In Stage Fort Park on Gloucester, Fee for parking, Open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
