Cressy Beach is the larger of the two beaches located within Stage Fort Park. This scenic, rocky beach overlooks Gloucester Harbor and is a great place to relax and swim or explore and play games in the park. There are restrooms located in the park, just up the grassy hill from the beach, and there is also a privately owned restaurant nearby for you to enjoy.

Lynn Beach is quite expansive and encircles much of Nahant Bay leading out to the Atlantic. A paved trail runs along the length of the beach, and you can spend a lot of time riding right next to the water.

Stage Head was a fishing stage, named in 1624. The first fort was built here in 1635. Today it's a state park with two beaches, the reconstructed civil war fort and other leisure infrastructure.

Lynn Beach is part of the Lynn Shore Reservation, a protected coastal reservation. It includes 22 acres of beaches and places for people to publicly recreate. There is a paved walkway to run around the beach, so visitors can enjoy the Atlantic without getting their shoes sandy.

Overlooking one of the basefall fields in Stage Fort Park is a large bronze plauque on a huge grantite cliff that reads: "On this site in 1623, a company of fishermen and farmers from Dorchester, England, under the direction of Rev. John White, founded THE MASSACHUSETTS BAY COLONY. From that time the fisheries, the oldest industry in the commonwealth, have been uninterruptedly pursed from this port. Here in 1625, Gov. Roger Conant, by wise diplomacy, averted bloodshed between contending fractions, one led by Myles Standish of Plymouth, the other by Capt Hewes, a notable exemplification of arbitration in the beginnings of New England. Placed by citizens of Gloucester, 1907." This plaque speaks to the rich history of the area and believe it or not, you can sometimes see rock climbers ascending the rock faces next to the historic plaque!

Stage Fort Park is a park in Gloucester with a rich history. Gloucester's Visitor and Welcome Center and a reconstructed Civil War fort, Stage Fort, are both within park grounds. The park also has a playground, picnic benches, baseball fields, a dog park, and a bathhouse. There are two beaches in the park, Cressy and Half Moon Beach, stunning viewpoints, as well as a huge granite stone (with a plaque) thought to have been used by Native Americans, and cannons leftover from a Civil War-era fort. There is a privately owned seasonal restaurant, The Cupboard of Gloucester, where you can order fried clams and sandwiches.

From this viewpoint above Half Moon Beach in Stage Fort Park you get fantastic panoramic views over Gloucester Harbor, the Atlantic Ocean, and of downtown Gloucester. In addition to the fantastic views, you can also see some old cannons here that are left over from the military fort that once stood here.
