Destination information
Once a major granite shipper, the depression closed the quarries and today people come to sunbathe on the rocks and beaches, walk along the shore or in the honeysuckle woods, and whale watch.
Sights to see include Thatcher Island with its twin lighthouses and Halibut Point State Park. A shopper's paradise, there are art galleries galore and quaint one-of-a-kind shops.
Eats & drinks
Cape Ann, one of New England's top 10 beaches, is a beautiful stretch of coastline with restaurants serving fresh lobster and seafood. Also, enjoy great food and panoramic views of Rockport Harbor at Greenery's Café and Restaurant.
