Howdee all
One very nice day last week we took a day trip to Good harbor Beach in Gloucester.
We packed our chairs, brought the binos,scope and here we go.
A small inlet on the south side of the beach, shallow water where Parents bring small children to play.
A beach locked in by rugged rocks on the north and south side of the beach.
This is the the rocky area facing south..with amazing home built on it.
This is the beach…facing north..see the rugged rock beyond the beach with the houses built above it?
This is the part of the beach facing east and the ocean…notice its not the dry sand if photo above. This is the area where high tide fills in..so most beach goers put their chairs above this area.
Walking further north..note the rocky edges…more amazing homes.
There is a small island off the beach
You can walk the little strip at low tide. Watch the tide..unless you don't mind a swim. 
This photo taken from the island looking north west. 
A nice place to relax…look at a few birds ( gulls for us that day)
And explore the beach for treasures
Stay tuned for Beach Treasures!
You should have gone out to Cape Ann yesterday: Leach's Storm-petrel, South Polar Skua, Common Murre, Razorbill, Black Guillemot, Atlantic Puffin, Black-legged Kittiwake, Manx, Sooty, and Greater Shearwaters... were all seen there yesterday off Andrew's Point
ReplyDeleteYour beach photos make me want to go!!
ReplyDeleteHi Dawn, Great shots and trip. I was wondering if you follow Steve B in Gloucester, he is an awesome photographer and birder. This would be a great person to hook up with while you are there. Here is his blog. Tell him I sent you.

Hey, you were in my neck of the MA. You must been there the only day in June it didn't rain. I think we live in Seattle, not Salem.
ReplyDeleteThe first picture brought the memory of that particular smell of salt in the air ha. Thanks..big smile with that one. All the beach pictures show why I love that part of the eastern shore. Guess? Its all about the rocks ha. Loved the picture of Jeffie and binos and I think I slipped and fell looking at the last picture ha.
ReplyDeleteVery nice to spend a day at the beach. Although I could do without all the big fancy houses.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful spot!
ReplyDeleteThe beach and area look fantastic. It does look like a great place for finding treasures.
ReplyDeleteThat looks so inviting. Now I tend to prefer my beaches more deserted, but peopled beaches remind me of my childhood. Ahhh, nostalgia is my bedpillow.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a very lovely beach. Nice pictures and what... No birds except Seagulls?
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I don't know how you ever mad it there on a sunny day! It had to be either Saturday or last Wednesday I believe. Or the Saturday before that!
ReplyDeleteI know you and Jeff must have had a wonderful time. The sky is so blue! I can now see the above post is from your trip to Gloucester.
Can you even imagine living in that house on the point??? WOW!

Now I see, I sea - Gloucester! How beautiful... I would love to see those beaches up that way. Sis used to live Mass -so pretty up there, nice COLD cold winters (COOL summers teehee!)
ReplyDeleteI just saw James Taylor on the sidebar and - well of course I could not resist - and hit play .... love it!
I have been going to Gloucester every year since I was born and it's my favorite place in the whole world! I love everything about it. I love the smell of seafood mixing with salt water. I love the mix of cool breezes and warm sunrays on my skin. In the car on the way there, when we're getting close to where we stay every year, I open my window to smell the air and something inside me clicks and I know I'm at home. Gloucester is without a doubt my second home and Good Harbor is my favorite beach. Wish I was there.
ReplyDeleteCool post as for me. It would be great to read something more about that matter. Thanks for posting that data.

My late wife, Mary Gomes for any Glousterites who may see this, was born and raised in Gloucester.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me so much of our many visits there, and Good Harbor Beach was one of our must stops. We all loved it.
Thanks.
