Gloucester Harbor Description
Gloucester Harbor is located on the north shore of the Massachusetts coast and borders the communities of Rockport to the east, and Manchester-By-The-Sea and Essex to the west (Figure 1-1). It is approximately 30 miles (48 kilometers) north of Boston and approximately 25 miles (40 kilometers) south of Portsmouth, NH. The harbor shoreline is characterized by intermittent smaller embayments separated by rocky headlands. Depths range from zero to 50 feet. There are no major freshwater tributary streams to the harbor. However, the Annisquam River, a tidal stream fed by small fresh water tributaries is hydrologically connected to the western area of Gloucester Harbor. Gloucester Harbor has various smaller coves and embayments between rocky headlands around its perimeter. Any type of angling is available here. There are also beautiful beaches, lodging, dining, or any other activity you are looking for.
