Good Harbor Beach is a beautiful, popular beach in Gloucester with white sand and deep blue water. At low tide, you can walk out to Salt Island, and at high tide, you can swim and body surf with or without boogie boards. Like many beaches in the area, parking can be a bit of a challenge so be sure to plan ahead; parking rates vary by day and season, and you might need to make a reservation beforehand, so check in advance. There are lifeguards on duty from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm daily from Memorial Day to Labor Day and there are no surfboards or flotation devices during these hours, except for Styrofoam boogie boards. Alcohol is also prohibited. There is a concession stand near the entrance of the beach were you can purchase food and drinks, and there are restrooms and showers available from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm daily.
