Ocean Front Cottage on Scenic Long Beach

Ocean Front Cottage Directly on the Boardwalk of Scenic Long Beach – Cape Ann

Ocean front row cottage (152 Long Beach) has a 270-degree ocean front view and is the last house facing east on the boardwalk of beautiful & sandy Long Beach. Location allows full views of the twin lighthouses of Rockport and Cape Hedge Beach to the east, all of Long Beach and Bass Rocks to the west, a large salt marsh to the north, and open ocean to the south. Proximity to the tidal creek, marsh, and the rocky point of Cape Hedge provides numerous safe activities for kids.

Ample parking is available in back with room for your boat or kayak, which can be launched from the creek behind.

The cottage is a 1-hour drive from Boston and a 3-mile drive from the train stations at either Gloucester or Rockport.

Escape to historic Rockport and Gloucester, Massachusetts. For almost 400 years, people have traveled to Cape Ann for its maritime past and present, seafood resturants, great scenery, miles of lovely beaches, historic harbors, water sports, antique shops, art galleries, boulder-strewn paths through woods and glades, and that uncommonly magical light that has inspired painters since Winslow Homer.



Both are an hour's pleasant drive north of Boston, so you can enjoy a romantic getaway, exquisite dining and a unique shopping experience—all in a single day.



The Rockport and Gloucester Chamber of Commerces invite you to use their online travel guides to find the museums, festivals schedules, and other activities that will give you a break from the bustle of city life. Come visit these historic seaside harbors just 40 miles north of Boston.



Most visitors will like to spend a visit to "Bearskin Neck" at the shops, art galleries, and restaurants just off dock square in the Rockport downtown area. Gloucester in contrast, with its deep maritime history, offers numerous ocean activities from deep-sea fishing and whale watching to dinner and sunset sailing cruises
