I've shown you beaches,coves,boats and the working waterfront but today with the temps approaching 70 degrees I decided to venture where I never ventured before....Ravenswood Park. Situated in West Gloucester off Western Avenue I can't believe I've been there never before ! It's funny what you take for granted. I figured it was like most wooded areas here with a few paths winding around the place. What I discovered was a forest of tall pines,streams,roads and void of trash.Secluded and peaceful is the sense that surrounded me and my dog loved it! Suddenly swooped down over my beagle the biggest owl I have ever seen.He perched himself on a nearby limb and watched every move my dog made ! I felt like I was in another world! I expected to see Dorothy,the Tin Man and the Scarecrow skipping along the trail!

The White Sands of Wingaersheek Beach !

White sands blue sky and water that's ever changing color with the depth & sky. One of the most popular of Cape Ann's beaches Wingaersheek Beach is packed in the summer.
Parking is at a premium,the parking lot has been known to close by 10:00am on those lazy days of summer. But if you have a boat it's easily accessable anytime.

Kettle Cove

Kettle Cove is located in the Magnolia section of Gloucester. It was a mild 53 degrees with a light breeze and a great day to walk the beach.
