Things To Do

  • Explore Gloucester

    Gloucester is one of the most beautiful coastal towns in New England. Take a stroll downtown, it’s right on the water, perfect place to start your morning! Make sure you visit the Eastern Point Lighthouse, it’s a historical must see in Cape Ann. If you’re here for a while, maybe hit up a Whale Watch. If you’re here for a little, make sure to get a lobster roll and take a drive along the coast, maybe even stop into Rockport to see where they filmed the movie The Proposal!

  • Get Spooky in Salem

    Just about a half hour drive from Gloucester is historic Salem MA. Take a walking tour and learn about the witch trials then pop into Gulu Gulu cafe for a latte!

    If the weather is nice enjoy the rooftop bar at Hotel Salem, you’ll have beautiful views of the city.

  • Wander around Boston

    The city where our story began! We spent 3 years falling in love with each other in this city and spent a lot of time exploring together. Our perfect day off spent here was by grabbing a latte and a bite at Trident Booksellers and Cafe (this is where we had our first date!) We’d then walk along Newbury Street towards the public garden where we’d sit by the pond and enjoy some sun. Sometimes we’d take a stroll down towards the Seaport and walk along the water, other times we’d walk across the bridge to Cambridge to enjoy some thrift shopping at Garment District. We’d usually walk everywhere especially if it was a nice day out! We’d wrap up our time in Back Bay by either stopping into Trader Joe’s to pick up groceries for dinner or by grabbing a bite at one of our favorite restaurants, Casa Romero. After dinner we almost always had a show to go to, whether or not Ethan was playing. If you’re looking for a spot with some great live music head out towards Allston and hit up one of the many bars around Harvard Ave!

Driving from Logan: 35 miles/ 50 minutes

Public Transit from Logan Airport via Logan Express: Logan Express to Danvers, this will get you within about a 20 minute drive/ Uber to Gloucester! The bus leaves Logan every hour on the 15. ‘

Drive

Drive Sober or get pulled over

Whether you’re driving 15 minutes or 1500 miles we ask that you NEVER get behind the wheel if you’ve had a drink. There are plenty of ubers in the area, we ask you utilize this option as your FIRST resort if you decide to have a drink or two with us!

As MADOT would put it “Gobble, Gobble, don’t drive drunk”

Public Transit

MBTA Via Boston

If arriving via Amtrak or bus line, you will likely have to make a connection through South Station.

Once arriving at South Station you will have to make your way to North Station to catch the MBTA Newburyport/ Rockport line. This will be either a 1 mile walk, 10 minute uber or 15 minute T ride, switching trains once from red to green at Park Street.

Once at North Station make your way upstairs to the commuter rail platforms for the Newburyport/ Rockport line. Your stop will be Gloucester! (make sure to double check the train schedule as this line has had some ongoing construction for the past few years!)
