Niles Beach

Absolutely loved this tiny little beach! We had a little time to explore before our whale watching cruise, so we went for a drive and stumbled upon this beach. We immediately parked and walked out there, thoroughly enjoying ourselves for a few minutes before heading back. It’s beautiful, feels private, and was very clean.

A beautiful beach that's quiet, amazing views and you can see the Boston Skyline off in the distance. I visit this beach in Gloucester Massachusetts once a week during the warmer months and 1 or 2 times during the colder months. Sea glass everywhere.

Great hidden attraction, however resident sticker required for cars 🚗. Quite and not crowded due to the small number of parking spots. Two Porta Potties were available. Nice place for outdoor picnic on our bike journey.

Of all the Gloucester beaches this is one of the more relaxed ones. Very protected area with little to no waves, good for families. Lots of shells and stones around so it is more comfortable with sandals or something on the feet. Glass can be found so be careful. You can see Boston in the distance. Off season swimming is common in March and April. 😱

Great beach for swimming because it’s protected, with a nice view of Gloucester’s Southeast harbor.
