Thanks to wide scale conservation efforts that have preserved its marshlands, beaches and historic areas, Cape Ann’s unsurpassed beauty and allure endure. Indeed our region has long been a favorite location for Hollywood flm productions because of its unspoiled, authentic landscapes and rugged beauty. Visitors fnd that they can savor a relaxing porch view of the Atlantic Ocean at an historic inn along the Rockport shore, walk along pristine wide open beaches or dine at quaint, family-owned restaurants. Cape Ann is famed for its fried and steamed clams and visitors have many options from clam shacks to gourmet eateries. They can shop at unique boutiques and antique stores, cast off a dock and sail around spectacular harbors, see world class art, dig into history and enjoy the stories of our earliest settlers whose homes remain intact to this day. So, turn your wheel toward Cape Ann this season – it is easy to reach by car or train and it offers worlds of delightful experiences. By road, the best way to see Cape Ann is to travel along our scenic roadways. Starting – for example – by exiting route 128 or major highways and traveling along the newly designated Essex Coastal Scenic Byway that locals simply call Routes 127 and 133. This byway takes one past beautiful seaside estates and coastal marshes and bays and offers an unprecedented view of our region. Scenic coastal Route 127 arrives in Cape Ann by way of the town of Manchester-by-the-Sea with its fne 17th and 18th century homes lining a historic downtown area flled with unique shops and galleries. Travelers can stop for a respite at Masconomo Park and enjoy the view of Manchester Harbor or lunch at any of a number of great bistros and restaurants and fnish off with a homemade ice cream. Many visitors like to park and walk to famous Singing Beach – where the sand literally “sings” and the gradual sloping beach gives way to beautiful vistas of the rocky Cape Ann coastline. From Singing Beach, return to Route 127 and continue northward, taking a brief detour through the village of Magnolia – famed for its Shore Road vistas and historic summer homes. Hesperus Avenue soon brings one to Magnolia’s Hammond Castle Museum, well worth a visit. Hesperus Avenue rejoins Route 127 near Ravenswood Park which offers unspoiled woods to walk in and a nature center that caters to children. Route 127 (now Western Avenue) next brings capeannvacations.com the traveler to panoramic views of Gloucester Harbor, seen from historic Stage Fort Park. The route continues along Gloucester’s Stacy Boulevard overlooking Gloucester’s eastern shore and outer harbor. In summer, the harbor is full of sailing craft and fshing boats – and three schooners that take passengers sailing: the Thomas E. Lannon, the Ardelle and the Adventure. After stopping to see the sights in Gloucester, continue along Route 127A via beautiful Good Harbor Beach and the eastern shore of Gloucester and then on to historic Rockport. Rockport remains the quintessential artists’ retreat and coastal New England village. It is a perennial favorite and its penny candy general store, art galleries, and boutiques along historic Main Street, Dock Square and Bearskin Neck give way to exquisite in-town inns and B&Bs and seaside lodging nestled along the rocky shore. From Rockport, this same route leads visitors around the cape’s continued ... 5 Cape Ann By The Road ... northeastern-most point, passing Halibut Point State Park, and then turns back southward through the laid-back village of Lanesville and past idyllic Lobster Cove at Annisquam. Halibut Point is unique geographically and offers nature trails, a seasonal visitor center and sweeping ocean vistas, all in all a perfect picnic spot by the sea. Exiting the island portion of Cape Ann there is still much more to see and do along the byway via Route 133. Visitors can stop at both Wingaersheek Beach and the historic town of Essex, famous for its shipbuilding and Essex clams. 2014 marks the centenary celebration of Woodman’s of Essex, where the fried clam was invented in 1914. Drop by the Essex Shipbuilding Museum and learn about this town’s rich contribution to our nation’s maritime heritage. Vessels built and launched along the banks of the Essex River populated the Gloucester fshing feet from the © Ellen Khan Studios 6 Experience Cape Ann 2014-2015 1600s to the days of Kipling’s Captains Courageous. The shipbuilding tradition lives on to the present day with three Essexbuilt schooners plying the tourist trade out of Gloucester Harbor. Cape Ann is not only a perfect place to see by road, it also offers an abundance of on-thewater tours and excursions. Options include guided pontoon boat and kayaking and standup paddleboard tours of the pristine Essex River and its outer bay that features Hog Island (where Arthur Miller’s play “The Crucible”, starring Winona Ryder and Daniel Day-Lewis, was flmed in 1996) and Crane Beach. Whereas in Gloucester one can sail the harbor and beyond on Essex built schooners, in Essex one can paddle or poke along a tidal river and its estuaries among marsh birds, seals and sails and surrounded by unmatched natural vistas. It is the best of all worlds.

Cape Ann Dining You already know you can enjoy the freshest seafood around when dining on Cape Ann. But, what dining experiences might surprise and delight you? In Rockport you can expect to buy a freshly steamed whole lobster at Roy Moore Lobster Company. But, why not enjoy it while sitting on the rocks at the end of Bearskin Neck? The chefs at Roy Moore’s make it easy for you by cracking the lobster, and throwing in melted butter and lemon. Once settled on the rocks, surrounded by the deep blue waters of the Atlantic, you’ll never want to leave. Well, you might want to leave for dessert. For a nearby treat, visit Helmut’s Strudel, also on Bearskin Neck. There you will fnd “addictive” Austrian style apple and cherry strudel, fresh baked muffns, and cinnamon buns. Try your strudel with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a real treat. Just a few minutes away in Gloucester, you’ll fnd culinary adventure at every corner. Stop by the Azorean Restaurant for Portuguese style cuisine, a full bar and a diverse menu. Ever try octopus? Now’s your chance. What about a dining adventure on the water? Gloucester now offers its frst dinner cruises on the Beauport Princess. Just launched in late 2013, you can fnd out more information by visiting www.cruiseportgloucester. com. Speaking of “frsts” on Cape Ann, you know that Essex is the home to America’s frst fried clam. But where might you want to stop before your clam dinner? How about enjoying a before dinner drink? Just across the street from Woodman’s (celebrating 100 years in business in 2014) is Shea’s Riverside Restaurant & Bar, where you can sit on the deck and watch the Essex River wind towards the Atlantic. The peaceful scene will relax your mind and soul. “My recipes for cooking octopus mostly came from my mother,” says Manuel Lapa, Executive Chef at the Azorean. “I recommend San Miguel octopus for frst timers. We brush the octopus with olive oil, grill it, and drizzle with garlic spiced oil. It only takes one bite to convince diners that it’s a good thing to be adventurous when dining out.” 52 Experience Cape Ann 2014-2015 What if you’re looking for a guaranteed good dinner and a livelier night, but nothing too crazy? You might be surprised to hear The Landing at 7 Central in Manchester by-the-Sea not only offers some of the best comfort food around (Shepherd’s Pie, Macaroni and Cheese, Braised Spare Ribs) but also trivia nights, acoustic music and karaoke – all in the atmosphere of an old New England inn. Visit Cape Ann for the reasons you always visit, the fresh seafood, beautiful coastline, family-friendly beaches and authentic people. Just remember to keep your minds and appetites ready for the unexpected culinary adventures of Cape Ann.

Thousands of tourists vacation on Cape Ann every summer. One of the most popular activities enjoyed by visitors to our community is whale watching. Visitors can taste the salty air as they cruise out of beautiful Gloucester Harbor past jetties, lighthouses and even a historical castle on the way to Stellwagen Bank, home to many kinds of wildlife, including the beloved Humpback Whale. Gloucester is located eight miles from Stellwagen Bank, a National Marine Sanctuary and even closer is Jeffreys Ledge and Tillies Bank, all prime whale feeding grounds. Gloucester is the ideal place to whale watch because of its proximity to these fertile feeding grounds. Gloucester’s whale watch companies are the only ones in New England who can easily reach these feeding grounds on any given trip. The ledges and banks of these feeding grounds create a rich and productive marine habitat that attracts numerous species of whales. Whale watching season on Cape Ann begins when the whales return to Cape Ann in early May, seeking our rich offshore waters and ends sometime in early November, weather permitting. Each of Gloucester’s whale watching companies hosts an onboard naturalist to help identify the whales and describe their behaviors. All are committed to education and environmental awareness and all guarantee whale sightings. Every journey is unforgettable and aweinspiring, from the frst sighting of a breaching whale to the voyage home. A narrated tour of historic Gloucester Harbor is included on every trip. 58 Minke, Sei, Northern Right and Finback whales are regularly seen off Gloucester, but the beloved Humpbacks are the whale watchers’ favorites. Rolling, tail slapping, breaching, even playing with the whale watch boats are everyday activities for these majestic beauties. Mothers bring their new calves to Cape Ann’s feeding grounds to teach them to hunt and feed. The Humpback whales that return each year are among the world’s most thoroughly researched whale populations. Naturalists have been tracking them off Cape Ann for years. For bird lovers, these bird species are often seen: • Gulls & Terns • Shearwaters and Petrels • Jaegers and Skies • Northern Fulmar • Wayward Land Migrants • Sea Turtles Here are a few hints to help you enjoy your trip: Don’t pack anything larger than a daypack. You won’t want to keep track of a large bag while trying to watch whales. Boats do have heated cabins where you warm up and can buy snacks, but you will want to be out on the deck were the whales are! Wear sensible shoes or sneakers for good traction on the decks. During early April, May and June, ocean temperatures are still very cold and any breeze over the ocean can make it uncomfortable if you’re not dressed appropriately. Even gloves are a good idea. During July and August don’t forget your sunglasses, sunblock and a sweater or light jacket. It can be 10-20 degrees cooler offshore. It is also a good idea to make advance reservations during July and August.
