I go here at least twice a week durin the summer with all of my friends to play football on the sand and enjoy the sun and nice cool water. I also like the island you can go to when it is low tide, or when it is high tide just swin there

“Good Harbor Beach or Bust!”

Good Harbor Beach

If you are looking for a relaxing day at the shore - Good Harbor Beach is just what the Doctor ordered! From the white sand to the beautiful emerald green surt - this is definately one of New England's best kept secrets - a diamond in the rough (literally - the beach is a nesseled along the rugged coast of Cape Ann between Gloucester and Rockport, MA ). Beach-goers will enjoy hours of sunbathing on powder white sand, swimming in crystal clear water and for those looking for a mini-adventure, a sandbar connects the beach to a rocky island perfect for exploring! One must check this beach out for themselves to really appreciate it's true beauty.

I love this beach you will see all ages not to many young kids , not that I mind, families teenagers middle age and seniors a place for everyone, always can find a place to park, I don't mind paying $20 although I think it's pricey but it's worth a days enjoyment. The water is so clean and depending on the tide waves can be alot of fun to body surf.... BUT my only complaint is the rest rooms it's been years I've never seen them upgraded I've never seen soap in the restrooms (are all the workers washing there hands) Why isn't this a priority with hundreds of people passing threw all summer, I hear this from so many friends I don't know why this bothers me but it does alot!! Enjoy
