Lighthouse Cove

Lighthouse Cove sits on Gloucester's Atlantic-facing shore, where you can drop anchor and take in the raw, weathered character of one of America's oldest fishing ports. The cove is framed by the rugged Essex County coastline, putting you within reach of Annisquam Lighthouse and the scenic tidal reaches toward Lane's Cove. It's a compact, no-frills anchorage, but the setting — open water, granite shores, and centuries of maritime history all around — more than makes up for it.
