Explore Cape Ann's Coastal Beauty

While Cape Cod often steals the spotlight, Cape Ann offers an equally stunning coastal escape with fewer crowds. Located just north of Boston, Cape Ann is home to the historic fishing town of Gloucester and the artistic enclave of Rockport. Here, you can enjoy whale watching tours, visit the iconic Motif No. 1, or simply relax on the serene beaches. Dining options abound with fresh seafood being a highlight, and you can find charming bed-and-breakfasts that add to the area's quaint appeal².
