Cape Ann is a beautiful peninsula north of Boston comprised of four distinct communities: Gloucester, Rockport, Essex, and Manchester-by-the-Sea. The area also sits right next door to Ipswich. Each town offers a unique atmosphere, ranging from the historic working waterfront of America’s oldest seaport to the charming antique shops and granite lighthouses that define this rugged coastal region.
Often called the "other" Cape, Cape Ann is known as a well-kept secret that offers a more rugged and authentic experience compared to the crowded beaches further south. Visitors can enjoy a "working waterfront" vibe where time feels like it slowed down decades ago. It provides a peaceful alternative to heavy traffic, featuring winding coastal roads filled with the scent of salt spray and wild roses.
Cape Ann offers a "choose your own adventure" style of travel where you can easily jump between different experiences. You can visit Gloucester to watch the fishing fleet come in at America’s oldest seaport, go antiquing in Essex, or view massive granite lighthouses in Rockport. Whether you want high-end art or a simple lobster dinner on a pier, the peninsula provides diverse activities within minutes of each other.
