Gloucester's Good Harbor Beach is a beautiful beach with powdery white sand and great waves, facing the Atlantic. There is a reasonably priced concession stand (burgers, grilled cheese, drinks, slush, and ice cream), rest rooms, and showers. Good Harbor is particularly amenable to families and children.
During low tide there is a sand bar that opens up to the left so you can walk out to the rocky island. Low tide also leaves lots of room for digging, or passing a football or frisbee. Boogie boards are welcome at Good Harbor Beach, and the waves are great at both low & high tides. Check the tide charts.
Parking at Good Harbor Beach:
