Does Gloucester have a beach?


Does Gloucester have a beach? Situated in the western part of Gloucester at the end of Atlantic Street off Route 133 and Concord Street, this beautiful beach runs along the Annisquam River and Ipswich Bay. At low tide, the beach extends out for hundreds of yards and a long sandbar is exposed, making for a great place to walk.


Can you take sea glass from Glass Beach?

It is forbidden to take sea glass within the boundaries of MacKerricher State Park: the glass morsels are strictly for your viewing pleasure, not for taking home as a souvenir. After all, if each of the thousands of daily tourists were to take some home, then, eventually, it wouldn't be Glass Beach!
