Harbor View Haven in Gloucester

Gloucester is located in Cape Ann, a rocky peninsula in northeastern Massachusetts on the Atlantic Ocean about 30 miles north of Boston. Cape Ann includes the city of Gloucester and the towns of Essex, Manchester-by-the-Sea and Rockport. This New England seaside retreat is popular for their picturesque fishing villages full of uncrowded beaches, art galleries, restaurants, and antique shops. Queen Anne of England was the inspiration for the naming of Cape Ann in 1623 when Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. These early settlers arrived at Cape Ann in search of better fishing areas and Gloucester Harbor became the fishing center of New England. Besides marine and historical activities, Gloucester is also home to one of America’s oldest continuously working art colonies: Rocky Neck, where many local artists have studios and galleries open to the public. Gloucester is the oldest seaport in the USA and still has a working harbor with lobster boats, trawlers and tourism boats used for whale watching, deep sea fishing and sailing. With seven beautiful beaches, Gloucester & Rockport have what you are looking for when you are heading out for a day of fun in the sun. The former fishing village of Rockport looks like a movie set, with colorful fishermen’s shacks, art studios, trinket shops and restaurants. The fishing shack on Bradley Wharf, known as “Motif #1”, is one of the most painted buildings in the US and Bearskin Neck (named by fishermen after a bear skin that was left out to dry on the rocks) is a quaint shopping experience with dozens of craft shops and galleries. New England is famous for lobster rolls, which is extremely popular during the summer. Another New England culinary staples are the fried clams and the steamers (dipped in melted butter). Also the New England clam chowder is a most when visiting the area.
