There is much to do in the coastal New England towns of Rockport and Gloucester MA. The neighboring communities are teeming with fishing wharves, galleries, and beaches. In Rockport, you will find a village full of artists and crafters. In Gloucester, a community of fishermen will impress you with their devotion to the sea. Our Rockport and Gloucester MA 2-day itinerary (with map) will you help fit in all the fun.
A unique quality to the area is how close you can get to its fishing and arts communities. Walking the wharves you can meet local lobstermen, chat with the fishermen from Nat Geo's Wicked Tuna, and/or meet the artist who created the watercolor you are thinking about purchasing. The region is beautiful, walkable, and accessible.
