Bearskin Neck is a charming coastal street in Rockport, known for its quaint shops and restaurants. Visitors are advised to park in a central location and explore the area on foot, with public metered parking available along the main street. The town offers a non-commercial atmosphere and affordable dining options, including ice cream, lobsters, and oysters. The peninsula features small shops selling local artwork, jewelry, ice cream, and fresh seafood.
Visited & stayed the night here last weekend & this was hands down one of the coolest, charming, & most beautiful places I’ve been to. Even our 9 & 11 year olds loved it here. I highly recommend & suggest you stay at the Bearskin Neck Lodge if you can. The views from every room are unbelievable!

Nature & Wildlife Areas
Halibut Point State Park in Rockport, just a 15-minute drive from Gloucester, offers stunning coastal views and a variety of activities. The park sits on 440 million-year-old granite and features wildflowers, a visitors center, sunbathing spots, hiking trails, and picnic areas. Once a granite quarry, the park now showcases the Earth's raw beauty and power.
This is a lovely hidden gem I just recently discovered. I’m spending time exploring my home state and I live south of Boston. This park is really cool north of Boston. It hits all my favorite things, ocean, nature, walking trails (short trails), lots of photo ops, and generally nice people. We brought our dog. You can walk around the old quarry and/or you can walk down to the ocean. We did both. There is also a lookout over the ocean that is cool. Parking was only $3 residents but kinda lame they ask for $20 non residents. Not sure it’s worth $20. We spent an hour here and then got lunch down the road.
Theresia C — Google review
Truly a must see destination in Rockport (paired with the Trustees’ Halibut Point Reservation). Breathtaking views of the ocean and the former quarry is stunning. The trails are great for running (not very long but if you do all the loops you can hit 2.5-3 miles), and are well-maintained and mostly flat.
Catherine M — Google review
Nice state park. You will have to pay $5 parking fee. There are portable toilets, also there is a nice visitor center built in the shape of lighthouse, with restrooms, and with picnic tables outside. The park has beautiful zone with flowers and abandoned granite quarry in 1929, filled with rain water. It's depth is 18m. The park is not big, has probably 2 trails, one around the quarry and the second leads to the ocean. You will spend there no more than an hour. We arrived there after 5pm in the mid of September. Not the best time to catch bluish hues of water in the quarry. Try to visit the park earlier during the day.
Rose D — Google review
My mother and I visited this state park on Tuesday, September 30th. Unfortunately, we arrived less than 30 minutes before the sunset that the park was going to be closed. So I was quickly to see the sea and took a couple of pictures. Both the restrooms and the visitor centers are closed. I used the portable restroom next to the parking lot. Inside the toilet was having a big pile of shit but I got to go. It was a shame that I didn’t spend the time to look this park or learn the history about this state park. I would love to go back if I’ll go back to travel east.

Beautiful park with nice walking paths that go to the ocean and overlook a quarry. The paths are blazed so you know where to go, and there's good signage, as well as a visitor center, restrooms, and water fountain. Highly recommend!!

I've been to Rockport many times, and I never knew this existed. What a cool place! Halibut Point State Park is an amazing park with tons of cool stuff to explore. In the middle of the park is the Babson Farm Quarry, an old quarry filled with water that is such a sight to see. There are places to view it from and go down to the bottom, but be careful as there are no guard rails to keep you from falling in. Swimming is also not allowed. Walk a little further down the narrow trails, and you'll find the beautiful sea rocks, which are really fun to explore. Beautiful views of the ocean. One of the trails leads up to the unusual summit of the boulder mountain, from which you can see Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and as far as Maine. Parking is $5 for Massachusetts plates and $20 for out of state plates. A must do if you're in Rockport!

A Beautiful park. Several nicely maintained trails lead you through the park, stopping at the quarry, and then to the ocean. The views are fantastic and we had a good time playing on the rocks and finding things that washed up.

Front Beach in Rockport is a small, family-friendly spot located right by downtown. It may not be ideal for a full beach day, but it offers a nice place to admire the water and take a quick dip. The beach features smooth pebbles and is easily accessible from the sidewalk. Its size varies with the tide, offering beautiful views and serving as a picturesque location for events like micro-weddings.
Beautiful beach, a nice floating dock to swim to. Amazing food around the area, and accessible bathrooms

Fun little spot. It is small and one of few sandy beaches in the area so it does get pretty crowded with tourists. The waves were small, but overall the beach was clean and the sand was soft. **THERE ARE PUBLIC RESTROOMS (free)** **THERE IS PARKING ($30), although we walked from Rockport Inn** **THERE ARE BENCHES AND TABLES TO EAT/SIT** Hope this review helps some of you out if you had any questions about this spot.

Quaint little beach. We parked over here and then walked into Bearskin Neck’s little strip of shops. Parking sucks, and it’s a slow drive out here, but it’s worth the trip to Rockport. And you have this little beach with clean bathrooms and a place to change.

Roy Moore Lobster Company is a no-frills seafood eatery and market with outdoor waterfront seating. It's known for its fresh cooked lobster in the rough, making it a small Lobster Shack specializing in boiled lobsters and other seafood straight from the sea. The dishes are generous with lobster and scallops, and the sauces are outstanding. The staff is friendly and efficient, providing attentive service. While there may be little to no mayo in some dishes, the seafood is always fresh and delicious.
Great location with some of the freshest lobsters in Rockport. Central location and friendly staff, Kenny helped us pick out the best lobsters available! They have a decent 3 for 50$ lobster pricing or 18 each. The restaurant is clean and you can see the fresh lobsters hanging out in their tanks. Great option if you are in bearskin neck for the day! Thanks Kenny, you made My birthday memorable.

Roy Moore Lobster Company absolutely deserves the highest praise! Watching the fishermen bring in fresh lobster right from the ocean and then having it cooked on the spot was one of the coolest dining experiences we’ve ever had. Our 3-pound lobster was perfection—sweet, tender, and bursting with flavor. The shrimp and baked clams were just as incredible, cooked simply and beautifully to let the freshness shine. The staff made the whole experience even better—they were extremely friendly, welcoming, and entertaining, adding so much personality and fun to the meal. From start to finish, the food was outstanding and the atmosphere unforgettable. If you’re in Rockport, this is a must-visit spot for seafood lovers. You won’t find an experience—or lobster—like this anywhere else!

The entire reason we stayed in Rockport was so I could try the world famous "Roy Moore Lobster Company" and it di not disappoint!!! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by Ross and he made our decision quite easy. I ordered a the Lobster roll, a half dozen oysters and one of everything else on the board. EVERYTHING was phenomenal!!! You can't get better seafood than this!!! Everything you heard about this place is an understatement. We were staying in Rockport, but no matter where you are staying, I highly recommend you take the drive to this awesome seafood Mecca!!! Thanks for everything Ross!!!
Michael P — Google review
Maybe we just had bad luck today — we came with high hopes but left a bit disappointed. The dozen oysters were definitely fresh and sweet, top quality for sure. But the three lobsters, while they looked great on the outside, were super watery inside. It was kind of shocking how much liquid had pooled at the bottom of the box — all from inside the shells. Overall, the lobsters felt pretty hollow, with barely any meat, and what was there was super salty. Compared to places we’ve been to recently in Boston and Newport, this was honestly underwhelming. Maybe we should’ve gone for the lobster rolls instead? Maybe they were slammed earlier and quality slipped, or maybe it was just our unlucky timing. Hopefully others have a better experience than we did.
Emily T — Google review
One of the best lobster spots in Massachusetts! The outdoor seating includes seven picnic-style tables and a small standing area. The only downside is the very narrow walkway to the seating. The food is excellent!! Clam chowder is thick and creamy with plenty of potatoes and not that many clams. The lobster is fresh, slightly sweet, and pre-cracked for easy eating. The lobster roll is served on buttery bread with a flavorful mix of lobster and light mayo, accompanied by coleslaw and potato chips.
Hannah L — Google review
I so wanted to gatekeep this place… but they absolutely deserve the love. The price is unbeatable, the seafood is fresh and delicious, and they keep it simple—minimal cooking, maximum flavor. Everything just tastes like the ocean in the best way. Pair it with a cold beer and you’re in heaven. The patio seating has a chill, coastal vibe, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Nothing fancy, just perfection in the purest New England seafood shack form.

Can beat the prices for some excellent Lobster without all the extras. Loved the atmosphere. Could use more seating but a table does open up fast. Definitely a place to eat!

To top off our vacation experience. Best value in New England. Bayside seating harken back to a time long ago. The lobster was pre-cracked and steaming. Lobster rolls were the best I've had. Fresh and buttery in a toasted roll.

It is well-known for featuring renowned artists from diverse genres such as folk, pop, rock, blues, classical, and jazz. The center offers an immersive experience with its state-of-the-art concert hall and panoramic ocean views.

This venue is beautiful and last night when we went to see Branford Marsalis Quartet, we were at the early show and got to see the backdrop of the ocean and sailboats behind the band and it was beautiful. Usually, we are there at night. The music was awesome. Unfortunately, my only complaint is the show was one hour and 15 minutes. We both said that was the shortest show we’ve ever been to.

Went for a Pink Martini concert. Fantastic music and a joyful band. Venue is relatively small and good for music because if you sit in the side balconies you may be only able to see about 2/3 of the stage without hanging over the railing. Otherwise first floor seats and back balcony are great. Acoustics are excellent. We stayed overnight in a nearby inn so we walked to the concert. Parking is on the street and if you're late you may be in for a bit of a walk. Rockport (and nearby Gloucester) is a great town for tourists, lots of things to see, beaches and places to eat. We will go again if there's something we want to see. Get your tickets early, its a popular place.

Winter for an event with about 150 kids for a high school field trip. The building is beautiful and located right off the water. The staff are extremely nice and accommodating. The theater is gorgeous and well maintained. There is a local crowd that seems to frequent at the theater, which seems so fun to interact with. And everyone really enjoyed the visit. If you're in the area for an event, this is such a beautiful place to see. I would absolutely recommend for a visit.

The Shalin Center is the most beautiful performance space on the East coast. The back of the stage is glass and looks out on Rockport harbor. In the summer, when the sun sets late, you have the view of the harbor behind the musicians. Sunset is around intermission time. The acoustics of the hall are top notch. We've been coming to concerts here since it opened. This years Rockport Chamber Music Festival is particularly fine. Jan 2025: Smetana and Dvorak. Fantastic concert.

Wow, what an amazing venue this place is. I was told that the old building was torn down and that they spent $20 million and 2 years building this all new structure.

Went to see Graham Nash tonight @Shalin Liu Performance Center. Wow! First time attending this spectacular venue. Everyone was fantastic from the ushers to the 3rd Floor observation lounge.

Rockin' Cupcakes is a fantastic bakery located in downtown Rockport on Bearskin Neck. The staff at this cupcake spot is incredibly friendly, and their cupcakes are absolutely delicious.

In addition to their amazing cupcakes, Rockin' Cupcakes offers fresh ice cream from a local shop, ensuring high quality and freshness.
Happened to walk by, were in the mood for something cold, looked good, so we stopped by. Did not disappoint. One mango smoothie and one coffee something something shake (my wife) later and we were happy. Fast. Convenient. Pretty good selection of all kinds of stuff. If we’re in Rockport again this is a must-do!!

Originally we were very excited to see a place with multiple non dairy options for ice cream but were disappointed by the service. First of all, the clerk was very rude and impatient with us. Ordered non-dairy ice cream and only realized after having several bites that we were actually given regular ice cream. This is unacceptable as my girlfriend is lactose intolerant so you can imagine the problems that caused. To top it all off we were even charged the extra cost for ben and jerry's non-dairy. Do not go here if you have dietary restrictions and expect to be treated with care.

Very unfriendly staff. Spend your money somewhere else. Went here yesterday with 2 friends. There was nobody else waiting and when I asked what was in one of the flavors the young woman working there said, the description is on the door. The door was covered with a bunch of papers so it took a minute to find it and would have been quicker is she has just told me. If she didn't know she could have told me that in a much nicer way. Then my friend tried to order from inside the store and the guy working in there said, you have to order from the window like it says on the door. They were two of the most unfriendly people I've ever seen in a shop like that. We left.

Cape Ann Whale Watch offers tours to Stellwagen Bank led by knowledgeable guides, providing the opportunity to observe humpback whales and other marine life. The company operates from April through winter, allowing visitors to witness these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. In addition to whale watching, guests can also enjoy a variety of attractions in the area. One such attraction is the Hammond Castle Museum, an unexpected European-style castle on Cape Ann built by John Hays Hammond, Jr.
It was so amazing!! Being out on the open ocean is beautiful in itself, but we were lucky to encounter 4 different sun fish, 2 seals, 3 female humpbacks, and a minke whale. The staff were incredibly passionate and knowledgeable. The speaker gave us a wealth of information about each whale as well as the other animals we encountered. I am already ready to go again :)
Montana G — Google review
Enjoyed my tour. We got to see 8-9 humpbacks, a small great white, a finback whale. One whale breached and one got very close. Every trip is different. It’s takes a hour just to get out of the bay. Pretty large boat so I didn’t get motion sickness. They have younger crew that are educators that go around and interact with the guests for educational tidbits and questions. The naturalist who guided us was really good, easy to understand with lots of knowledge. She did not rush the tour and really wanted us to see everything we could possibly see, our tour was 4.5 hrs. Boarding started 30 min before and we left a few minutes early. They sell some stickers, pins, magnets, etc. at the end so bring cash if interested. Restrooms onboard and lots of seating, although you will be moving around to spot the wildlife. 9/18/25

My daughters and I had our 3rd exceptional adventure Oct 18, 2025 with Cape Ann Whale Watch on Saturday. Not only did we see many whales, one of which Tina (?) had not seen since 2023, but we had the 5% experience of seeing a large pod of white striped or white sided dolphins who were playing, jumping around the boat and giving us a magnificent show. The whales kept drawing us with the trumpeting sound that we never heard before. It was remarkable! The knowledge of the guide seems unsurpassed and the smoothness of the ride, despite the significant waves, spoke highly of our Captain. The crew also graciously made sure everyone was okay throughout the trip. We’ll book again next year. And the year after. Absolutely the best whale watch you could hope for!!!!

We had a great outing on Saturday 7/19. My daughter and I were hoping to spot at least one whale and we ended up seeing 4! Chromosome and Tripod were around us for at least 30 minutes and we had seen Pitcher prior to that. There was another whale feeding in the distance. Took us well over an hour and a half and lots of miles to find the action but when we did, it was amazing! Wish we had some more impressive photos to share but hard to capture on our phones. Thanks to the crew for a great day.

Went on the whale watch on Sep 14 (1:45 PM). Parking was free and well-organized — staff guided us right to a spot, which was a big relief. The boat left exactly on time, and the guide was amazing, sharing details and facts throughout the trip. After a 30–45-minute ride, we spotted a humpback whale and even two whales swimming together! The whole trip lasted about 3–4 hours and was an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend Cape Ann Whale Watch! 🌊🐋

Went right before the season ended and really enjoyed the experience. Arrive early, they board 30min before departure. Things I wish I knew, bring for drinks and snacks on board as well as tips, no card reader or Venmo available. Dress warm, bring that extra layer. Definitely a great experience and worth every penny. We saw 4 whales and dolphins, crew is super friendly and knowledgeable.

Went on 10/07/25. We had 10 humpback whale sightings and some dolphins in a pod. Absolutely incredible experience. We were on the boat around 5 hours. It was about 2 hours before we spotted any whales. Great staff. Everything was well explained and they took turns so both the right and the left side of the boat could see the sightings. The views into and out of the bay were breathtaking.

North Shore Kayak & Bike Adventures and Flip-Flop Emporium is a popular spot in Rockport, located at Tuna Wharf near Bearskin Neck. They offer kayak and stand-up paddle board rentals, as well as various tours including ocean wildlife, sunset, history, and local island tours. Customers praise the colorful kayaks lined up at the boathouse and the ease of loading into the kayaks from their beach.
My wife and I took a guided kayak tour. We have kayaked before, but there were others in the group that were less experienced. Our guides, Tara, was very helpful and gave clear safety instructions before the tour. She was also very knowledgeable.about the local area and kept us informed about the different sites along the tour. The stop at the Straitsmouth Island lighthouse was definitely a highlight of the tour. I would definitely recommend North Shore kayak to anyone interested in kayaking in Rockport.

I rented a bike one week and a kayak the next. They didn't really have bikes set up for people with long legs and short arms IE women. The bike I ended up with had a rusted chain and made noise so I didn't go all that far and ended early. The kayak was much better and I did a couple of miles enjoyably , although I should have worn my kayaking shoes to help getting in and out of the kayak from the muddy shore.

We went on the coastal tour! Nice chill paddle to an island. Our guide Clay gave us some awesome information with local tips to explore Rockport. Would rent again!

I didn’t actually use bikes from this place but they were so cool about refunding my money after I realized I mistakenly booked from Camden, Maine thinking I was booking at a Rockport, Maine establishment. Whoops!! They were very nice and immediately refunded my money, no problem. I will definitely keep them in mind for next time when I’m not 140 miles away, that is.

I really like this place, it’s such a nice spot to stop and listen to the waves crashing on the rocks. There’s also a good public restroom nearby, ice cream and a restaurants. It’s a great place for a date!

I'm a serious hedge hunter who had to check out the hedges here. Great hedges if you know where to look. You could waste your time looking at the vast oceanscape in front of you while on the beach, but do yourself a favor and look behind you! Oh, those hedges! Be careful, some hedges are actually hidden behind a long hill of rocks. I'm sure they will be removing this rock hill very soon to improve hedge visibility. I also flew a kite. Would hedge again.

There is NO BEACH at this marked location. This pin on the map is actually the rocky breakwater at the end of Bearskin Neck, and is NOT Cape Hedge Beach. THAT beach is on the south side of Rockport.
Matt N — Google review
Regarding this incorrectly located marker for Cape Hedge Beach, Camborne Way is private with NO beach access! I've notified Google but haven't received a response. The beach is down South St. or Seaview St. Enjoy the beach but I'm giving one star for the marker.

I’ve been coming to Rockport nearly every summer since I was a kid and now that I have kids of my own, I make it a point to stop into this store when we visit. Lovely selection of kid activities, toys, and grown-up stuff like gifts, cards, cute books, etc. The owner is very friendly and it makes me happy to be able to support a small local business!

Just purchased a charming children's book at Paper Mermaid while visiting Rockport: "A Day in Rockport: Scenes From a Coastal Town", illustrated by store owner Mary Faino. Mary kindly inscribed a personal message for my grandnephew. I highly recommend the store -- and the book!

The Paper Mermaid is one of the special reasons I go to Rockport! The store is amazing!! There is always something new, magical and wonderful to explore! I have found the staff to be very respectful and kind during all my visits especially when I take up room calling & video chatting with my grandchildren so they can tell me what special surprise they want Grandma to bring back. I have to admit I can be quite loud!!! Now for the inventory at the Paper Mermaid. It is amazing- artistic, magical, mystical, heartwarming and I really want to buy it all! From a world-wide traveler...PS.THIS IS A PLACE NOT TO MISS!!

This store is more than a store: it is an artistic experience, an oasis of warmth even on the coldest New England day. I have been going there on every visit to the Boston area since it opened, and invariably have found not just stunning and unique gifts, but a warm vibe. Most recently, the artist-owner has added a line of her own artwork—in cards, prints, and books. A wonderful shop-art gallery.

My family has been visiting the town of Rockport for over twenty years. In the past five years one of our daughters and her young family has been enjoying Rockport with us. Unfortunately, this past trip, we had a traumatizing experience in The Paper Mermaid. The old woman who sometimes runs the shop verbally abused my five year old granddaughter, my daughter and myself and in front of many other costumers. Emie was gently playing with several of the mermaid dolls. This woman stomped up to us and SCREAMED, "Is this your CHILD?" "She can't touch those dolls!" "They will get dirty!" And on and on... until we left the store, dumbfounded by the hatred this old woman was spewing. I will agree that the store is set up in a lovely and inviting fashion. Perhaps there should be a sign on the door- No children allowed. I have loved this store throughout our visits and spent thousands of dollars there. But NO More. The old woman has scarred my daughter and me. We will carefully monitor Emie's emotional well being in the future. Respectfully submitted, Kathy Massie

Movie theater
If you're a fan of arthouse, classic, or foreign films, then Little Art Cinema is a hidden gem you won't want to miss. Just a short stroll from my location, this charming single-screen theater offers ample seating and an impressive sound system that enhances the viewing experience. The concessions are incredibly affordable compared to larger chains like AMC, making it easy to enjoy snacks while watching unique films that you won’t find anywhere else.
I love Arthouse/Older/Foreign Cinema, so when I learned that there was an Arthouse Cinema not a five minute walk from where I am, I jumped at the chance to try it out. It's a great little place, single screen, with a lot of seating, and a good sound system. Concessions are beyond cheap for a theater, especially if you've been to an AMC lately. If you're in the area and have some time, there are many worse ways to spend a few hours.

Good Harbor Beach is a small yet stunning beach known for its prime swimming conditions and picturesque surroundings. The white sand, clear waters, and scenic views make it an ideal spot for a relaxing day by the shore. During low tide, visitors can explore Salt Island or the nearby Annisquam River to discover diverse marine life. The beach provides amenities such as restrooms, showers, and a concession stand offering snacks and beach toys.
One of my favorite beaches in MA. At noontime, tide is low, and you can walk out to the island and explore!!! No dogs allowed on the beach in the summer starting April 1 or $300 fine. Also, you need parking passes to come if you are not a resident.
Kristy J — Google review
Great beach! We love coming here for the soft sand and fun waves. During low tide there are tide pools and a river the kids can explore, plus an island you can reach via a sandbar. During high tide there’s still plenty of beach. The parking is great - plentiful and stretches across the whole beach, making it easier to spread out and you never have to walk far.

☀️🌊🏖️🦀🐚 Good Harbor Beach is a great beach with plenty of space for lots of people! We had a great time at Good Harbor Beach and caught lots of ☀️! At low tide you can walk across to the island and maybe find some 🦀 The food stand can be slow to order and receive your food so plan accordingly. My lobster roll and fries took 30 minutes to be ready but that was pretty common for everyone there. Overall we had a great time at Good Harbor and will make this one of our top beaches in the area!
Logan — Google review
We visited Good Harbor Beach in July and really loved it! We booked our parking spot a few days in advance, so when we arrived, we just had to show our reservation — super easy and convenient. We went early in the morning, which allowed us to park close to the beach entrance. People start arriving around noon, so depending on what time you like to enjoy the beach, parking and getting a good spot can be easier or a bit more challenging later in the day. The beach itself is very beautiful, with calm waters that are perfect for families with kids. We had such a relaxing and fun day, and we’ll definitely be coming back next summer!
Nathy K — Google review
Although the parking is limited and prices are salty, after 3-3:30pm the parking is free and there's always spaces to park. Short distance between parking lot and the beach, well maintained bathrooms but not so well maintained showers. Clearly a popular beach, by the crowd today. The water was ice cold in early August on a 80F Sunday. The tide rises suddenly in the afternoon, it's a beautiful scene to admire while sunbathing. Very pleasant beachn!
Livia L — Google review
Good parking, well stocked bathrooms, convenient snack stand, helpful walkway mat in the sand leading from the snack stand to the start of the beach, making getting to the beach earlier for anyone with mobility challenges. The views are beautiful, and the beach is clean. My only complaint was people smoking cigarettes which ruined the enjoyment of the fresh air. Also, Keep an eye on your French fries and snacks for some assertive sea gulls.
Nora K — Google review
First time coming here and it was enjoyable. We got there for 8am so there was plenty of parking, I do think $45 with tax $47 this year for parking for non residents is terrible! I did enjoy the fact that there are little waves here so its not a quiet beach. Walking the beach at low tide in the morning was nice, you can go to the puddles around the rocks to see what's in there and also cross the water to the island and climb it which we did not do. There's bathrooms with changing rooms, a food area, and an area that sells beach accessories. The beach at low tide looks very large but when it starts to come i it does get quite narrow. The seagulls are very vicious come lunch time, I saw a few attack people while eating their food.

Public beach that is about a quick $5-$10 Uber Ride to MBTA Gloucester train station. Locals are nice. Beautiful scenery. Low tides & shallow waters areas especially for the small toddlers and babies. Although, there are no public restrooms available, the closest is the local hotels & restaurants off Beach Ave. There is a small bridge that connects the beach to the local neighborhood & a small parking lot is available for families.

Halibut Point Reservation, a 12-acre park adjoining Halibut Point State Park, offers breathtaking views of the coastline and is perfect for a leisurely stroll or a picnic. The recently refurbished Visitors Center/Fire-Control Tower adds to the charm of this pet-friendly destination. With easy walking trails and rocky shores, it's an ideal spot for families with young children. While some hikes may be challenging for those with mobility issues, the stunning ocean vistas make it worth a visit.
We were in Salem for the weekend and wanted to take the scenic drive up north. We ended up here by accident, and decided to walk around and stretch our legs. It ended up being absolutely stunning and a great way to end our trip.

One of my favorite Trustees properties that I’ve visited (paired with the DCR Halibut Point State Park). Breathtaking views of the ocean and the former quarry is stunning. The trails are great for running (not very long but if you do all the loops you can hit 2.5-3 miles, and are well-maintained and mostly flat.

Loblolly Point is a hidden gem that offers breathtaking views of the ocean and nearby lighthouses, making it an ideal spot for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts alike. Nestled away from the hustle and bustle, this secluded location features rocky cliffs where visitors can often see locals fishing. To reach Loblolly Point, be prepared to navigate a dirt road with minimal signage; having your GPS handy will definitely help you find the small parking area.
Wonderful stop off on a drive around the local area. After a short walk it was great to sit and watch the waves crash into the rocks.
