The Dog Bar breakwater stretches out its protective arm across Gloucester Harbor and provides a viewing spot/fishing spot. The view is south to Beverly, Salem, Boston and beyond. On a clear day, you can see quite far. The walk out is a bit challenging for those with balance issues (small children, older folks). The waves can be unpredictable on stormy... More

We went out to the light house on a cold February day. Would have loved to walk up on the breakwater but it was soooooo windy and freezing! Great views back toward Gloucester and the Hammond Castle. Will have to go back in the summer!!

You many run into people fishing along the... More

Amazing drive along Glosta's Eastern Point...worth it just to "look" at the homes along the way. Walk along the breakwater and enjoy the view. Great place to view the "Mayor Cup Race"!

If possible, go early on a weekday morning. The parking lot is tiny and fills up early with fishers. Also, ignore the signs the local wealthy have in place saying it is a private road. It is not, and that advice to us came from the friendly folks in the Gloucester visitors center in Stage Fort Park.
