ESSEX A day in Essex is filled with adventures, whether you spend it outdoors or in a museum. Hop in a kayak and explore the meandering Essex River, with its panoramic views of vast salt marshes lined with tall grasses. Once on land, continue your exploration with a stroll down the causeway. Perhaps you’ll enjoy a plate of fried clams in the town where fried clams were invented! Be sure to visit the Essex Historical Society and Shipbuilding Mu-

seum for a bit of history and browse Essex’s famed antique shops for treasures. Essex has more restaurants per capita than any other town north of Boston. So, relax and enjoy a fresh seafood dinner as you reflect upon your perfect day.
GLOUCESTER Gloucester is proud to be America’s oldest working seaport. Learn all about Gloucester’s maritime history with a visit to the Cape Ann Museum, or view today’s working fishing boats with a simple walk on the inner harbor. Perhaps you’ll see the daily lobster catch coming in or a commercial fishing trawler passing by. Experience living history for yourself on one of Gloucester’s schooners or spend a day on the water watching whales. Just minutes away from each other are Gloucester’s famous beaches, hiking trails, restaurants and four-season recreation, both indoors and out.

culture scene. Peek into an artist’s studio on Rocky Neck, visit the North Shore Arts Association or take in a play at the Gloucester Stage Company.
IPSWICH Ipswich is one of those towns you drive through en route to your final destination. However, it is a destination all its own. This historic, seaside town is home to a diverse landscape, from marshes and sandy beaches to farmland and forests. Whether rustic or grand, the architecture of Ipswich is as varied as the landscape. Tour a first period, colonial home; experience life on one of America’s oldest working farms, Appleton Farms; or be transported back to the roaring ’20s on the grounds of Crane Estate, a Tudor Revival mansion, on Castle Hill. Save time for a visit to Crane Beach, a stunning four-mile, white sandy beach, framed by dunes and home to a growing population of endangered piping CAPEANNVACATIONS.COM
plovers and other shore birds. Only a short drive away is Ipswich’s downtown situated along the riverfront. Stroll Market Street, known for its quaint shops and restaurants, or visit one of Ipswich’s nearby breweries to unwind after a day of exploring.
ROCKPORT The charm of Rockport escapes no one. It’s the quintessential New England town whose harbor features what’s regarded to be one of the most-painted buildings in America—Motif No. 1. Just a stone’s throw away are Bearskin Neck’s small shops and eateries just waiting to tempt and delight you. Throughout Rockport’s downtown you’ll find captivating and unique art galleries, and will soon understand why artists and visitors alike have fallen under Rockport’s spell. In the heart of the town is the worldclass Shalin Liu Performance Center featuring classical music, opera, films
and pop performers. Its stage overlooks the expansive Atlantic Ocean—adding dramatic effect.
MANCHESTER-BY-THE-SEA You can hear music in the name of this small seaside town, and perhaps it is no coincidence its signature attraction is Singing Beach. The beach is a perfect way to start your day, followed by a visit to the downtown shops and galleries. Take a stroll through Masconomo Park with ice cream in hand as you leisurely gaze at fishing boats passing through the harbor. Visiting in the winter? Try winter hiking at Coolidge Reservation or check nightlife calendars for live music and cozy spots to enjoy dinner and cocktails. See pages 8–21 for more detailed descriptions of each Cape Ann community.

Take a seat on one of the park’s many benches and enjoy the sights and sounds of this beautiful New England harbor (helpful hint: There are approximately 20 public parking spaces in the town parking lot behind the police station and two-hour street parking spaces along Beach Street). If you prefer ocean to land, charter an overnight boat complete with a captain! Check out Frayed Knot Sailing Charters for charter opportunities and sailing lessons throughout Cape Ann.

ELCOME TO GLOUCESTER—YOU’VE ARRIVED AT THE PERFECT PLACE for breathing. We all know that fresh air is a key to health, happiness and sparking an appetite. You’ll need that appetite during your stay—with new restaurants to experience, new art galleries to inspire and new adventures to embark on. On the eve of celebrating its 400th birthday in 2023, Gloucester is one of the U.S.’s most popular coastal destinations—and home to America’s oldest working seaport—promising stunning beaches and sunsets. It’s also an ever-evolving community, and you’ll notice new shops, cultural venues and neighborhoods. As Gloucester moves forward, it honors its past. Fishermen still head out to sea each morning and battle the unpredictable waters (the Fishermen’s Memorial will tell you more). Artists remain inspired by Cape Ann’s elusive light and strive to capture it on canvas, from dawn to dusk. Beaches and natural resources are protected and pristine. Gloucester takes great pride in its traditions and welcomes visitors and new residents to join in every aspect of its culture. While downtown you’ll notice a bustling Main Street boasting locally owned retail shops, galleries, cafes and fine restau-
rants. Rogers Street, running parallel to Main, adds its own restaurants and shops, along with access to whale watching, schooner sails, and other waterfront recreation. While meandering downtown, visit the Cape Ann Museum and learn more of the city’s history, its settlement in the early 1600s and its journey to becoming one of the world’s largest fishing ports by the mid 1800s. You’ll also stand in awe at the paintings of Fitz Henry Lane, Winslow Homer and others. History, arts and culture, the freshest seafood—and some of the best ice cream and

If you’re here to relax, Good Harbor and Wingaersheek beaches, to name just two, will transport you to a calmer place. The salt air, combined with a long walk or kayaking, will restore and invigorate. Perhaps one of Gloucester’s best-kept secrets is its off-season. Special rates entice and cooler temps are often more invigorating. Winter hiking, cross-country skiing, ice skating and bird watching will fill your days. There’s also a fascinating concentration of winter seabirds—take the Cape Ann Winter Birding Boat Trip to Stellwagen Bank. In fact, “off” season is the new “on.” CAPEANNVACATIONS.COM

IPSWICH A
RETREAT TO THE GREATER CAPE ANN REGION PROMISES A RETURN TO the simple pleasures of life and travel. The idyllic coastal town of Ipswich may surprise you as the perfect getaway destination. For locals, it’s no surprise at all. Paired with its neighbors Essex and Gloucester, Ipswich makes for a fun day trip as part of your Cape Ann vacation. It’s also deserving of a long weekend on its own, any time of year.

Ipswich also holds numerous events for the whole family. From July to September, the Crane Estate hosts an outdoor concert series every Thursday with pre-show picnicking. Summertime’s Olde Ipswich Days offers artisans a venue to display their creations. On Tuesday evenings in July, head to the riverwalk for a night of music and dancing at Ipswich Downtown Tuesdays. In October, the Ipswich Chowder Fest features tastings from local restaurants plus live entertainment. Ipswich Illumination spans several weekends in autumn and includes performance and visual art, bonfires on the river and music. The year ends with Santa’s arrival by boat to the town wharf,

complete with caroling, a Jingle Bell walk to the Town Hall and more. After checking in at a gracious local inn, peruse the museums or journey into the past on a walking tour of the historic district. Some of the oldest homes in America are found here. Even Hollywood has been lured by the town’s charms—Ipswich has been the setting for numerous films—and you’ll understand why upon your arrival in this classic New England coastal community.
WHAT’S NEW • Release of Salem’s Lot—filmed in Ipswich • Makuwa Swim Wear • Fit Forward • George Morse Gallery • Take-out Terrace on the Riverwalk expands

Ipswich’s trails and state parks offer meditative places for biking, hiking and walking. Ipswich is also home to miles of pristine beaches, dunes and maritime forests together with hundreds of acres of working farms with beautiful trails, farm stores and activities for the whole family all year long. After all that activity, you’ll be ready to dine out. Ipswich’s restaurants span from pizza to pub food to Greek, Italian and Asian fare. And of course clams! Ipswich clams are famous for their great taste and tender bellies. For beer lovers, try tastings at one (or both) of the area’s breweries. To satisfy shopping cravings, visit the boutiques offering jewelry, antiques, clothing, collectibles and toys. You’ll always be welcomed by friendly owners and staff, and made to feel at home.

HEN DESCRIBING THE FIVE TOWNS COMPRISING GREATER CAPE Ann, it’s easy to use the same words over and over: unique, charming, quaint, picturesque, etc. Writers strive to find new descriptions that “paint the picture” (pun intended) and spark your imagination while avoiding the trap of clichés. One wonders, though, if it was actually Cape Ann that inspired those words to begin with. Rockport, located at the tip of the Cape, and its jaw-dropping views of the Atlantic and stunning coastline, will simply take your breath away. collector or just beginning, you could spend days roaming in and out of the studios and galleries along Broadway, Dock Square, Main Street and Bearskin Neck, meeting the artists and watching them work. As you wander, you’ll also discover excellent restaurants (from hot dog shacks to lobster in the rough and fine dining), weathered storefront cottages and, if you stroll Bearskin Neck to the top, you’ll arrive at the ultimate spot for a selfie—with the vast Atlantic as your backdrop. Music and performance are plentiful throughout the year along with many special town events. In the summer, there are free concerts at the Back Beach Bandstand and
Al Coombs
As with Gloucester, European settlers in the early 1600s identified the waters off Rockport as a fertile fishing ground and settled there, beginning industries in granite, timber and fishing. If you walk or hike through Halibut Point State Park, you’ll come across the old granite quarries, still impressive today. Pack a picnic because you’ll find a great spot to enjoy more incredible views of the Atlantic. A stop at the renovated visitor center at the beginning of your stay will point you in the right direction. Rockport’s history as a magnet for artists holds true today. You’ll find a thriving community of artists and galleries—not to mention incredible talent. If you’re a seasoned

CAPE ANN’S INTERNATIONAL DINING SCENE

APE ANN IS FAMOUS FOR SEAFOOD, YET MANY travelers may not realize that the region offers a diverse and vibrant array of culinary options. Thinking about authentic Lebanese fatayer, spicy Thai red curry, Salvadoran pupusas, or Moroccan shakshouka? They await you in these local hot spots. Here’s a quick guide to greater Cape Ann’s international dining scene.
ASIAN Craving spicy and savory? Thai Choice in downtown Gloucester offers dishes from very mild to extra spicy, with options in between for every palate. Specialties include yum hed koong, shrimp salad with quintessential Thai seasonings including chili paste and ginger. Thai Choice pays homage to its roots by showcasing traditional Thai artwork and décor throughout its dining room. Very nearby is Pilot House, another local favorite offering barbecue and seafood plus an extensive Chinese menu. Enticing Asian dishes of lo mein, egg foo yong and fried rice are comfort food staples, while fried clams
and haddock will please those wanting traditional New England fare. For sushi take-out, call or order online at Sushi Sang Lee, located inside the Savour Wine & Cheese shop. Other options include Ocean Garden and Horizon. In Ipswich you’ll enjoy Spice Thai Kitchen and Chinese restaurants May Flower and Good Taste Chinese Food. Classic Chinese fare is also found at Rockport’s Hong Kong Kitchen.
HISPANIC On Washington Street in Gloucester, Tacos Lupita, Cape Ann’s only taqueria, offers authentic Mexican street food
with the freshest ingredients. This local fan favorite offers tacos, wet burritos and enchiladas as well as mulitas and huaraches. The taqueria also serves the national dish of El Salvador, pupusas. To drink, try a Jarritos Mexican soda in your desired flavor. You may take your food to go or relax and enjoy the restaurant’s colorful vibe which transports you to a Mexican taqueria, regardless of the weather outside. A favorite among locals looking for a more complete dining experience is Jalapeños, which boasts a creative margarita menu. This eatery and full bar offers traditional Mexican cooking from tamales, flautas, empanadas to popular options like burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Another fun option within walking distance is Machaca Taco
Top: Falafel tacos from Yella on the Water. Below: Ranchero-style sirloin steak from Jalapeños.

Piazza Navona. In Gloucester, Virgilio’s Italian Bakery, known for baking the “bread of the fishermen” since 1934, is a mom-and-pop Italian staple for breads, pastries and hot/cold deli sandwiches, plus specialty groceries imported from Italy. Other fine Italian choices include Tonno, Caffé Sicilia, Café Bishco and Sclafani’s Italian Bakery.

ITALIAN Looking for a romantic night out? Escape into the divine aromas and cozy ambiance of an authentic Italian restaurant—and look no further than Zabaglione Ristorante in the heart of downtown Ipswich. The renowned Italian restaurant features traditional Italian fare including fusilli all arrabbiata and chicken Francese. Its signature dish is the pork chop, which is so special it’s only served on Friday and Sat-

urday nights. Looking for a more casual choice? Try Pomodori Ipswich, or as the locals call it, “Pomo’s,” offering classic Italian dishes and American favorites. On the go? Order a delicious calzone or signature pizza. While traveling down Rte. 133 towards Essex, you’ll find Cape Ann Pizza, which for nearly 20 years has offered a classic Italian menu (along with Greek specialties) that are homemade daily. For authentic wood-fired pizza, head to Bravo by the Sea, with locations in Manchester-by-the-Sea and Gloucester. Bravo offers specialty pizza and pasta dishes that will trick you into thinking you’re at a gourmet pizzeria in Italy’s

To the delight of visitors and locals, several Mediterranean restaurants have recently opened throughout Cape Ann. Just a stone’s throw from Stacy Boulevard in Gloucester, Yella on the Water provides an experience as close to dining along the Mediterranean Sea as you can achieve on Cape Ann. Without hesitation, try their falafel tacos—a family recipe—combining imported spices from Lebanon, or the Fisherman’s Catch, a pan-seared day-boat white fish rubbed with olive oil and za’atar and served with grilled corn, pepper and asparagus succotash, Kalamata olives and parsnip pureé. Sit inside or al fresco. For a taste of Portuguese culture, dine at Azorean Restaurant & Bar, also in Gloucester. Offering hearty land and sea specialties from the Azores Islands, the dishes are served in a warm and casual dining room with Azorean-themed artwork and murals. If you find yourself enjoying a beer at the iconic Crow’s Nest Bar & Inn in Gloucester (you may recognize it from the 2000 film The Perfect Storm), visit another local gem right next door, Markouk Bread. Among the best Lebanese food in the region, this casual take-out restaurant is a secret sensation. Their Lebanese manuoshies, fatayer and kibbeh are so flavorful, and the service always warm and welcoming. On a nice day, enjoy your meal outside and watch the fishermen file into the Crow’s Nest after lunch, while seagulls squawk and circle the fishing vessels. And when only Greek will do, visit Ithaki Modern Mediterranean in Ipswich. Enjoy!

AVE YOU EVER THOUGHT TO YOURSELF WHILE WATCHING A FILM OR TV show, “Wait, I’ve been there!” Maybe you recognized the famous Gloucester bar that anchored The Perfect Storm, or the scenic spots showcased in Manchester-by-the-Sea, The Witches of Eastwick, The Tender Bar and many others. Perhaps you’re a fan of National Geographic’s “Wicked Tuna” or HBO’s “Olive Kitteridge.” They all share something in common—Cape Ann played a role. For decades, Cape Ann has been a sought-after location for film and television, given its dramatic horizons and classic New England architecture. And when Hollywood comes to town, the region transforms, often masquerading as completely different locales—each one adapting a Cape Ann setting to meet artistic needs.
Here are scene locations from a few popular movies filmed around greater Cape Ann. Test your knowledge of where they are and if you haven’t visited these Hollywood-worthy spots, add them to your to-go list.

CODA (2021)
A new horror rendition (above left) based on the 1975 Stephen King novel, the story follows a writer who returns to his hometown of Jerusalem’s Lot, ME, in search of inspiration only to discover that something sinister has taken over. Part of the filming took place on Cape Ann—can you guess where?

LITTLE WOMEN (2019)
This American coming-of-age period drama based on Louisa May Alcott’s 1868 novel (above, second from right) takes place in Concord, MA, and stars Meryl Streep. You may not find beachgoers in 19th century swimwear there today, yet visitors to this beach enjoy the same smooth sands and the gentle waves as the March sisters in the film. Name this Cape Ann beach.

GROWN UPS (2010) Written by and starring Adam Sandler, the film tells a story of
lifelong friends who reunite 30 years later for a weekend at Lake Amoskeag in New Hampshire. It was actually filmed at this popular swimming and canoeing spot on Cape Ann. Can you guess where?
5
THE PROPOSAL (2009)
Starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, this romantic comedy (above right) centers on a Canadian executive facing deportation who convinces her assistant to act as her fiancé. Much of the film takes place in Sitka, Alaska, yet was actually filmed in this iconic Cape Ann town whose downtown was transformed for these scenes. Have you visited this famous Cape Ann destination?

CAPE ANN PLEIN AIR 2022:
LEGACY AND PROMISE
E
NTERING ITS SIXTH YEAR, CAPE ANN PLEIN AIR (CAPA) IS NATIONALLY recognized as one of the leading outdoor painting competitions in the U.S., drawing artists—and art lovers—to the region known as the birthplace of plein air painting, a phrase borrowed from the French meaning “open (in full) air.”
With CAPA 2022, set for October 1–9, the Cape Ann community will once again embrace this popular week-long celebration of the arts—and the region’s unrivaled arts legacy. “Cape Ann Plein Air is an example of the vibrant cultur-
al community here in our region,” said Susan Gould-Coviello, CAPA Executive Director and 2022 Chair of the Greater Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce Board. “We’re thrilled with the quality of artists we attract each year and with
the support we see from Cape Ann’s arts community, businesses and residents.” While COVID-19 presented its many challenges in 2021, CAPA saw record numbers in paint sales and attendance. In 2021, CAPA presented more than $22,000 in prizes and artists sold more than 100 paintings topping a sales total of over $150,000. A portion of each painting sale is donated to the Cape Ann Community Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Chamber, to use to further art students in their pursuit of their craft. 2021 also welcomed new and exciting partnerships with the Peabody Essex Museum, Cape Ann Museum and Art Haven. This year, CAPA will again welcome national and international plein air artists, and those selected to participate will spread out across Cape Ann in pursuit of views and subjects that have attracted painters here for more than 150 years. One highlight will be the awards gala, where artists display their work for judging and sale. The gala is an incredible sight to behold, knowing that these prolific artists created all their works in one short week, under intense pressure and, at times, at the mercy of Mother Nature. The Cape Ann community and its visitors will also enjoy meeting the artists at the gala and at CAPA dinners, receptions, workshops, demonstrations and the wildly popular Quick Draw. Artists love to discuss their work, their motivations and what draws them to Cape Ann. Many of them apply to CAPA every year—a testament to the artistic inspiration, camaraderie and community they experience here, and the elusive, magnificent “Cape Ann light” they hope to capture on canvas. In 2021, no fewer than six Cape Ann artists were juried into the show, a testament to the claim that Cape Ann is the birthplace of American Plein Air. This October, Cape Ann will once again extend this legacy, as our community comes together with some of today’s leading plein air artists to take CAPA to new heights.

HAT’S SO GREAT ABOUT GREATER CAPE ANN, YOU ASK? ONE ANSWER depends on your point of “view.” Boston has its Emerald Necklace of Frederick Law Olmsted parks, a most worthy source of civic pride. Here, in and around Cape Ann, its magnificent vistas, laced together by sea and shore, are jewels as well—Mother Nature’s gift for all to enjoy.
Come along as we point out a few favorite spots on Cape Ann that embody its history, environment, and scenic charm. Be sure to bring along your camera and binoculars—and perhaps a sketchbook and easel, if you’re artistically inclined. Note: This tour is best done by bicycle and on foot yet can also be enjoyed by automobile, canoe and/or kayak.
ESSEX Let’s first head out to Conomo Point in Essex, named for Masconomo, chief of the Agawam tribe who inhabited the area in the late 17th century. A great viewing spot is the newly built park overlooking the Essex River as it reaches Cross Island and narrows on its way out to Ipswich Bay. If you’re here at low tide, you might see clammers out on the mud flats. Looking over at the salt marshes,
30
you can trace the lines of the tidal creeks that flow through them. The sunsets at the Point are show-stoppers in all seasons and you’ll likely be treated to close-up views of elegant egrets feeding in the tidepools. Your next stop in Essex will be the Cox Reservation, headquarters of the Essex County Greenbelt Association. From the main parking area, take a leisurely walk through a meadow to a small picnic area at the edge of the Essex River. Keep an eye out for bluebirds as you traverse the meadow and say hello to the plein air artists at their easels—a common sight. If you picnic at the overlook, watch for the cormorants diving for their daily meals. Before leaving the reservation, take a minute and soak in the view of the salt marsh that extends off to the horizon. This is part of the Great Marsh
GREATER CAPE ANN GUIDE & DIRECTORY 2022–2023
ecosystem that stretches from Salisbury, MA, to Cape Ann. Another wonderful spot in Essex is the Stavros Reservation located just off Route 133 on Island Road. A short walk up the hill along a wooded pathway will bring you to an open hillside meadow that rewards with magnificent vistas encompassing the meadow, marsh and bay to Castle Hill, Choate (a.k.a. Hog) Island and beyond. This is yet another great venue for a summer picnic, wildlife viewing, and plein air painting.
GLOUCESTER A fantastic view of Gloucester Harbor and the surrounding sea is only a short— if a bit steep—trek up Gloucester’s Commonwealth Avenue to the top of Lookout Hill. There you’ll find Governor’s Park and a panoramic view of the city and the entire harbor from its eastern to western shores. For closer views of the harbor, start at Fort Square Park at the entrance to the Inner Harbor. Ten Pound Island, where Winslow Homer lived and painted during the summer of 1880, is just off CAPEANNVACATIONS.COM

shore. Walk along the harbor edge all the way from Fort Square to Stage Fort Park, and if the tide is right, enjoy a little beachcombing at Pavilion Beach along the way. Stacy Boulevard and its lovinglycared-for gardens and memorials will take you from the beach to Stage Fort Park, with limitless opportunities for bird, boat and people watching. Once at Stage Fort Park, start at the old fort’s battlements with its cannons securely in place. A formidable site indeed for observing all the harbor comings and goings. Before heading on, take a moment to read the historic marker placed there in 1930 by the Daughters of the American Revolution. Follow the path down to and across lovely Half Moon Beach, and then climb the stone steps that lead to the top of Tablet Rock. From here, the views of Eastern Point, Dog Bar Breakwater, schooners under sail, Freshwater Cove and the harbor’s western shore are simply stunning. You’ll understand why French explorer Samuel de Champlain was inspired to name this area “Le Beauport.” CAPEANNVACATIONS.COM
Another great option is the Magnolia Woods and Shore. A capped former city landfill may seem an unlikely place to begin a scenic tour of the village of Magnolia, yet a stop at Magnolia Woods will surprise and delight. Local birding experts flock to these fields and woodlands for its nearly 360-degree view, creating a perfect setting to spot raptors and winter bluebirds. Along Shore Road in nearby Magnolia Village, the views of the small harbor against the open sea are superb. Walk to the end of Magnolia Pier for the best view of Kettle Island, which, according to experts, is the single most important wading bird breeding site in Massachusetts.
MANCHESTER-BY-THE-SEA Located just south of Magnolia Harbor, the Coolidge Reservation is a former seaside estate now owned and managed by The Trustees of Reservations. From the top of Bungalow Hill there is an excellent view of the harbor to the north. Look carefully as you follow the path by Clarke Pond and nearby wetlands to spot herons, egrets and other wildlife. A little
farther along, the landscape opens with wildflower-filled meadows that draw migrating Monarch butterflies in the fall. When you arrive at the Ocean Lawn, enjoy the sweeping vistas of Massachusetts Bay, the off-shore islands and the wide Atlantic beyond. Farther inland, The Monoliths is a 143-acre woodland and wetland preserve on the easterly side of School Street, just north of Route 128 exit 50, at the Essex town line. This Trustees property is named for its two giant granite monoliths that were deposited here during the last Ice Age. The 1.5-mile trail loop that begins at the 10-car trailhead parking lot will lead first to Little Rock at the summit of Beaverdam Hill. The second, 30-foot-tall Big Rock rests nearby in a small shrub swamp. A great conclusion to any tour of Manchester is Tuck’s Point Pier & Rotunda. Built in 1896, this iconic Manchester landmark’s restoration in the early 2000s Above: Argilla Road Marsh at Fox Creek in Ipswich.

was guided by original plans that were discovered in a Town Hall vault. Set at the end of a beautifully crafted wooden boardwalk at the entrance to Manchester Harbor, the historic rotunda is always open to the public for “their enjoyment of the harbor views.” The scene is picturesque and a lovely complement to the nearby shops and restaurants.
ROCKPORT Halibut Point State Park is a crown jewel in Massachusetts’ state park system and a wonderful place to begin any tour of this seaside town. The park’s headquarters and visitor center, which served as part of the Atlantic coastal defense system in the 1940s and ’50s, was completely restored in 2021 as the centerpiece in a multi-million-dollar park renovation. While the observation tower built to spot German U-2 boats off the coast during WW II has only limited access now, you can see the view from the top on a big screen in the visitor center via the tower’s web cam. Afterwards, walk the path around the quarry to the overlook and scan the horizon across the bay—on a clear day and you’ll see the entire coastline from Castle Hill in Ipswich to Mount Agamenticus in York, Maine. On the sea itself you’ll watch seabirds of all sorts, including harlequin ducks and purple sandpipers in the winter months; in the summer and fall, look for whales and dolphins. While you may no longer see submarines from Halibut Point’s tower or overlook, if you’re there at just

the right moment on a summer evening, you may catch the sight of a Cape Ann schooner as it “hauls about” the point on its Cape Ann tour. Motif No. 1, the red fishing shack so prominently placed at the end of Bradley Wharf in Rockport Harbor, is one of the most photographed and painted subjects in America. It’s appeared in many films, including The Proposal with Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds and Betty White, where Rockport was transformed into Sitka, Alaska through the magic of Hollywood. A favorite Motif point of view is captured from the Headlands, looking westward back toward town. Here, after an easy walk from downtown to wellmarked public pathways, you can look out over Sandy Bay and watch sailboats, lobster boats and seabirds from sunrise to sunset. Departing downtown Rockport and traveling inland to the top of Summit Avenue, you’ll arrive at a small park, once the site of Haskins Hospital. Today it serves as Rockport’s best access point to the trail network in Dogtown. After your picnic in the park or your hike through Dogtown, walk a short distance back down the avenue for a bird’s-eye glimpse of Rockport and Sandy Bay below. For views closer to sea level, turn left at the foot of the hill and head out to end of Old Granite Pier. Here you’ll find a panoramic view of the town and bay out to Straitsmouth Island Lighthouse and the white-foamed surf at the Dry Salvages, described by T.S. Eliot as

Castle Hill on the Crane Estate is one of the town’s magnificent landmarks and a great first stop. The views of Ipswich Bay over the surrounding dunes and coastal marsh from the stately mansion sitting atop its namesake hill are unforgettable. Crane Wildlife Refuge, featuring Choate (formerly Hog) and Long islands, is also a must-see. Set within the Essex River estuary across from the southerly shores of Crane Beach, these drumlin isles—connected to each other by a causeway—are home to a rich array of bird and mammal species. Well-maintained gravel roads and foot paths lead up from the docks through hay fields and woodlands, past historic farm buildings to the summit. Though it may take extra time and planning to get here, you will not be disappointed. Just up the coast, the Great Neck Conservation Area and its Clark Pond overview offer vistas spanning Plum Island Sound and the surrounding salt marshes to the north and eastward. Eagle Hill and Rowley rivers flow into the Sound from the west, and the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge and Sandy Point lie to the northeast. Another memorable stop is the Sandy Point State Reservation, a 77acre paradise of beach and dunes wrapped around the southern tip of Plum Island from west to east. This state park is just a short paddle across the Sound from Great Neck’s Pavilion Beach. By land it will take a little longer, yet the journey is well worth the travel time. The ride north to Newbury along the Byway (Route 1A) and back south through Plum Island’s national wildlife refuge will reward you with scenic vistas and wildlife viewing spots all along the way. Once at Sandy Point—by land or by sea—be sure to explore the accessible self-guided nature trail that runs through the dunes. Once there, linger a while on the viewing platforms to refresh, breathe deeply and appreciate Mother Nature’s splendor that surrounds you. CAPEANNVACATIONS.COM

t’s often said that we each harbor a gift. A talent that we either release and make a life with or we keep dormant, until the time is right. Or until time avails itself. One of Cape Ann’s harbored gifts lies within the home studio of retired sea captain Sam Nigro. An artist all his life, although few knew. “I was always painting as a hobby,” he says. “My mother made me go to art school on Saturdays—when everybody else was out playing baseball. Drove me crazy,” he shares. Little did anybody know that these torturous classes as a tween would evolve into a legacy project. The voice of a pirate, the soul of a sea captain, the hands of a painter, Nigro embodies them all. His story is one of hard work, solid values and enormous generativity and love for the region. And he paints

For this grandfather of 14, the fun is found in the process, and while Nigro will scoff when recounting humorous tales of customer interactions (“Do they really know what they want?” he wonders), his dedication to craft and subject is clear. As if his brush were a pen, the oars are “stoaries” if you will, with Nigro as both artist and author. Immortalizing a treasured Cape Ann business, an elusive sunset, the majesty of a lighthouse; each element documents the heart of the region through the eyes of this fisherman and family man. Nigro’s Glostaoars symbolize the community where he has made a home and life with wife Eileen since 1967. What began as a present for a friend’s 50th birthday nearly a dozen years ago has become wildly popular. “The only reason why it’s so successful is nobody wants to do it,” he laughs. “First of all, I can’t find oars. Then you gotta be crazy to do it because you go blind,” evidenced by the Nigro’s attention to detail. While he calls his painting a “hobby,” perhaps passion is a more appropriate term. The oars act as messages, command steep fundraiser CAPEANNVACATIONS.COM
donations and are offered as special gifts. Recipients include Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker “and a Kennedy.” The process isn’t easy—first you have to find the oars. Nigro has friends on the lookout as he scours the Internet and flea markets. There’s a priming and careful sanding process yet “you leave the oar rustic,” Nigro explains, “That’s what they want. They want antique.” Once primed, “then you sketch it and you paint it, then you seal it. Then I put a lock on.…[There’s] a lot of money tied up in it,” Nigro explains, though is quick to add, “[But] I don’t want to put it that way. I’m not about money, it’s like my epitaph when I’m gone. There’s gonna be a lot of oars out there with my name on it. It shows I was here.” Nigro was recently commissioned to paint an oar for the Angela Rose—the vessel at the center of the film CODA which won the 2022 Academy Award for Best Picture— with the hand signs for CODA, children of deaf adults. The oar is for Sian Heder, writer/director of the work that was filmed in Gloucester, Essex and Rockport. Nigro paints portraits of those who’ve passed for their families, he paints memo-
ries for friends who’ve moved south; one “wants a memory of Gloucester on her wall in Florida because she’s homesick.” “People give you images of other places,” Nigro continues, “Maybe they’ve gone to Italy or to other parts of the world, and they give you pictures of faraway places and memories” that for some intuitive reason they know Nigro will capture. “Anybody can paint on a canvas,” he says. Retired for 20 years now, Nigro, at 80, speaks social media with impressive fluency, works his business on Facebook, is Instagram savvy and reps himself well, “Have you visited my website?” he asks. Retirement has availed the time. “Every day is Saturday,” he says. “When you retire, you have to have a hobby or a trouble.” So Nigro paints in honor of Cape Ann and stays busy. Currently working on at least four oars at press time, Nigro cannot deny the inner artist his mother saw in him all those years ago. “You just want to do something different all the time. That’s why it’s original.” Nigro’s original oar still hangs in Destino’s Deli in Gloucester, a proud testament to friendship and Cape Ann.

Leanne Lane
hile cruising down Route 133 in Essex, keep your eyes peeled for Essex Seafood. The charming eatery’s curb appeal is undeniable, yet it’s what (and who) you’ll find inside that makes this a gathering place on Cape Ann. Founded in 1997, Essex Seafood is owned and operated by the Lane family, consisting of husband and wife duo Debbie and Howie, and daughters Leanne and Stephanie. Howie’s brother Michael started the business as a wholesale distribution service to bring fresh clams to local restaurants on Cape Ann. Thanks to an old fryolator from the property’s previous owner, an outdoor picnic table and some good company, an idea began to take shape: create a place where people relax, gather and
“ You can’t appreciate your help enough. I’ve always appreciated mine, and I’ve realized I can’t do this without them.” delight in the flavors of the region. Family and community are at the core of everything Essex Seafood does. Debbie and Howie’s siblings, cousins, nieces and nephews, in-laws and godchildren all play starring roles in the day-to-day management and maintenance of the restaurant. The support system is bolstered by the dedicated and hardworking staff and crew who, while not related to the Lanes, are considered part of the family. “Nowadays you can’t appreciate your help enough,” Debbie explained. “I’ve always appreciated mine, and I’ve realized that I can’t do this without them. We’ve been so lucky.” Open year-round, the restaurant’s dining room seats about 80 comfortably, with ample outdoor tables and awnings for visitors to enjoy from season to season. The menu consists of beloved family-friendly classics, including lobster rolls, steamers, sandwiches, hot dogs and appetizers. Wildly popular items include the clam platter, shucked fresh daily and sourced from local clam diggers; the popcorn haddock boat with fries; and the seafood plate—a 9 x 13" platter perfect for sharing (or going solo), filled with generous portions of fresh
36
clams, scallops, shrimp and haddock. Essex Seafood’s renown stretches far beyond the borders of New England—Debbie and Howie ship fresh lobsters and steamers to friends and clients as far away as Arizona. Like many Cape Ann eateries, Essex Seafood remained steadfast in serving its community during the pandemic, offering curbside pickup and takeout to families across the four towns. But on Mother’s Day in 2020, after one of the most successful days in the restaurant’s history, the Lanes had yet another hurdle to overcome: a fire due to faulty wiring in the furnace. While thankfully no one was inside, the damage to the building was irreparable, leaving Debbie and Howie in a state of shock. In true Cape Ann fashion, the community rushed to the aid of its neighbors. A point of pride for the Lane family, the rebuild was driven entirely by local businesses. Contractors, electricians, plumbers and woodworkers (many of whom were regular customers) offered their services and resources. A little more than a year later on Memorial Day weekend, the restaurant reopened its doors to a swarm of familiar faces and new friends. “[The fire] was
GREATER CAPE ANN GUIDE & DIRECTORY 2022–2023
devastating, but it turned into something good,” she stated. “During the year that we were closed for the rebuild, we had people ask us, ‘Why are you rebuilding? Why don’t you just get out while you can?’ We told people that we like our business. So we didn’t have any desire to give up.” That spirit and dedication has since launched Essex Seafood into a new era. Debbie credits the eatery’s continued success after the rebuild to her family and staff, as well as the camaraderie with local restaurateurs. Growing up on Cape Ann, the Lanes have formed a special kinship with many restaurant owners in the area, and try to help each other whenever possible. “We basically all grew up together,” Debbie described. “We all like each other and get along well. If someone runs out of something, we help them and trade back and forth all summer long.” Essex Seafood’s staying power is rooted in its authentic spirit and dedication to the communities it serves. So the next time you’re in the mood for fresh seafood—an absolute must when visiting Cape Ann— or a casual bite, set your GPS to Essex Seafood and visit with the Lanes. You’ll always be treated like one of the family. CAPEANNVACATIONS.COM

n artist’s journey is fascinating to follow. Grammy Award nominated guitarist Jon Butcher grew up in Alaska, about 90 miles north of Fairbanks. He attended college for television production in Boston and “after that I just stayed, you know. I really liked the city and felt at home. I started playing in bands and before I knew it I had a following and one thing led to another.” By that, Butcher means the journey led to a long, sustaining, successful career making music. And yet perhaps it wasn’t until Butcher discovered Cape Ann that he would begin his most rewarding journey, personally and creatively. Here he has found love, the sea and friendship. Butcher returned to Massachusetts in
“ We’re all trying to hold on and music is that language that we all speak and understand. ” 2009 after 20 years in California. He met his wife Laurinda, also an artist, who had a home on Cape Ann and, once again, “one thing led to another.” “I’ll be honest,” he says. “I surprised myself at how much I fell in love with Cape Ann. When I got here, I felt like I fit in. I met Allen Estes and Fly Amero and a lot of people that made me feel like I fit.…That’s special for someone who’s been living out of a suitcase for a couple of decades. This is an artist community, in addition to the fishing industry. It’s a community of painters, poets and musicians and I just felt like this is where I should have been all along.” Butcher has played, written and sung it all from soul to blues and rock ’n’ roll. His rock trio, Jon Butcher Axis, toured with major bands for years, including KISS, Rush, INXS and The J. Geils Band. He’s cracked the Top 100 on the Billboard charts, toured the world, scored music for film and television and, in this moment, is performing, writing, making mini-movies (with his company Watercolors Movies) and working on a new album with friends and fellow CAPEANNVACATIONS.COM
musicians Estes and Sal Baglio (of The Stompers fame). “The three of us did a show together and we had such a good time, we did it again, and then decided to make a new record for 2022. It’s called Gypsy Caravan and it’s releasing this spring. We’ll be touring behind it.” Butcher, Estes and Baglio “go way back,” yet Butcher had “forgotten what close friendships among colleagues could feel like. I am so excited and so thrilled about the music. “The collaborative process, while not new to me, was something I hadn’t explored in this detail. We all sing, we’re each lyricists in our own right and have had success. So to collaborate with these guys is like putting on a comfortable pair of shoes,” he laughs. “There’s just no rough edges, you know?” This experience has allowed Butcher a contemplative dive into himself. “The power of music is extraordinary. It has the power to take you back in time, to heal wounds, to take you to another place. “We all gravitate to the arts for solace, understanding and empathy,” he explains. “We’re all looking for the same
thing, trying to find our way through life. And there’s something about the past few years that has put it all into focus. We’re all trying to hold on and music is that language that we all speak and understand. Not everybody is a musician but everybody resonates with some kind of music. I think humans are built that way.” There’s no question Cape Ann’s invigorating salt air and meditative vistas inspire and fuel the artistic spirit. Where is Butcher drawn to? “Good Harbor Beach, for one.…There’s also a small harbor where I have gone to collect my thoughts. It wasn’t until the third or fourth time that I went down and sat on the edge of the dock, and it was quiet, and I just listened to my own heartbeat in my own rhythm, and I realized that I needed this, that it had become important to me. And very much a part of who I’ve become.…I’m still working to make my best and my finest and most realized work and this place, this harbor, has become so important to me now.” To the journey. “I can’t really imagine living anywhere else. I’m pretty sure this is my last spot.”

e’ve all read fairy tales set in castles or mansions, with backdrops of luscious green lawns, the salt-tinged air from nearby ocean waves crashing against the beach; where parties and music play all year long; where laughter and joy abound. It’s nice to know some fairy tales are real. Welcome to the Crane Estate at Castle Hill in Ipswich, where executive director Peter Pinciaro is living his dream job as keeper of the castle. Pinciaro is the longest-serving Trustees of Reservations employee, his career spanning over 40 years, having started as a volunteer in the summer of 1977 on Choate Island, at the Crane Wildlife Refuge in Ipswich and Essex. He was hired full time at The Crane Estate after graduating from UMass Amherst. “It was really love at first sight.…Not many
“ Everything we do is about making this place enjoyable to spend time with family or just in quiet solitude.” people stay in the same job. Working for the Trustees is the only job I’ve ever had. “Crane has long been a flagship for the Trustees, and a gateway for people to get acquainted with the organization. We protect about 2,000 acres here in Ipswich and Essex. The mission of the Estate is reflective of the Trustees mission statewide. We protect public spaces for public use and enjoyment. One of our fundamental ethics is to get people outside. Our founder Charles Eliot talked about the need for the renewal of the human spirit, in an open space. Everything we do is about making this place enjoyable, a place for renewal, to spend time with family or just in quiet solitude. We do that but not at the expense of the resource.” The Estate boasts a successful endangered species protection program, safeguarding the beach and the species without compromising the environment. “And in Castle Hill, our restoration efforts have been true to what the Crane Family intended. We’ve done millions of dollars of restoration work to make Castle Hill more inviting and more vibrant. But, really, you know, it’s a place where families can have fun.” The Estate’s history is fascinating and well worth a little research before your
38
trip. Mr. and Mrs. Crane, wealthy business magnates from Chicago, were looking for a summer home and stumbled upon what was known then as Ipswich Beach back in the early 1900s. It took several years to build the Estate and the Cranes lived their summers to the fullest. After Mr. Crane died, Mrs. Crane bestowed the beach to the Trustees in memory of her husband in 1945. The Trustees received the balance of the property in 1949. “We try to celebrate the spirit of the place when the Cranes were in residence.” “We celebrate the ’20s a lot,” he laughs. “We think the Cranes were very playful.” The Estate’s tour program maintains that spirit. They’re conducted in the first person led by theater students or volunteers playing the role of a maid or butler. Each visitor is given an identity card based on an actual guest who visited the Cranes during their heyday and is invited to play along. You’ll be addressed as Ms. Earhart if you pull the famed pilot’s card, for example. Fun never ceases with live action Clue games, plays, art shows, the Estate’s iconic summer Thursday picnic concerts and Roaring ’20s lawn parties. Fire pits warm the fall, glorious decorations dazzle the holidays. And if all
GREATER CAPE ANN GUIDE & DIRECTORY 2022–2023
this isn’t romantic enough, you can horseback ride along the beachfront. Honestly, it’s not a dream. It’s right here in Ipswich. And then there are the dunes, a trail system ranging nearly 10 miles, perfect for long meditative walks. The Estate has also delved into guided kayaking tours on the backside of Crane Beach in Essex Bay, “creating a gorgeous experience in a safe environment,” he says, adding, “The tidal pools are the prettiest on the North Shore.…To enjoy the site on a daily basis, to watch the light change, the constantly changing views over the course of the day, the texture and different colors in the landscape—it’s like working in a work of art.” Pinciaro praises his team and volunteers who share his dedication to preserving the harmony between nature and wildlife and humanity. “They are incredibly talented and are drawn to the place like I am. What makes it most special, though, is seeing the effect that this place has on people…to see the organization’s work reflected in the pleasure that it brings to people’s lives.…To have found my place at such a young age and to have crossed paths with so many inspiring people, I’m a really lucky guy.” CAPEANNVACATIONS.COM

ver hear someone answer “Living the dream…” when asked how they are? Perhaps it sounded off the cuff or sarcastic. Yet even in these jaded times, there are those who truly are. On Cape Ann, the dream is flourishing at Floating Lotus, where owners/life partners Karin Antanaitis and Justin Christopher have built their lives and their business for nearly 20 years. While both have family across New England and had visited Cape Ann as kids, Antanaitis and Christopher actually met on a beach in Florida. “I picked her up like seashell on the beach,” Christopher laughs. Kismet. It was the summer before they graduated from college; Antanaitis studied ecology, Christopher history, Asian studies and languages. They shared a wanderlust and wanted to see the world. “We moved
“ Our mission is to connect people and cultures through positive and mutually beneficial relationships.” out to southeast Asia and lived and worked there for four years. We were teachers in Taiwan and Thailand. That’s how we got connected to the people and the culture of that part of the world.” And it’s there the dream was born. They “brainstormed the business, moved back to the U.S. and started small. Things have grown and here we are.” “We came across these amazing artists, crafters and small businesses, creating these beautiful things that people had never seen before,” Antanaitis explains. “We just wanted to share that with the world. It was a dream of mine to have a small business like this, a store, where you could introduce people to the cultures and the beauty and the creativity of the world.” The couple began selling items at trade shows, music festivals and traveled around the country for the first few years after returning from overseas. The business grew from there and in 2004, while visiting family in New England, they went to Rockport where kismet, in the form of a “For Rent” sign on a Bearskin Neck storefront, struck again. “We moved in, we had the shop and lived upstairs, actually, for the first few years. It was the perfect set-up for us. It just felt like CAPEANNVACATIONS.COM
the right space. We developed Floating Lotus there on Bearskin Neck, established ourselves and then we opened our [second] shop in Gloucester about seven years ago now.” Their dream concept is simple; it’s impact, however, is massive. “Our mission is to connect people and cultures through positive and mutually beneficial relationships. We have close connections and friendships with all of the artists who make our items. We share the beauty and culture that we’ve discovered over the years and offer unique handmade pieces. We feel like the positive relationships we have with these artists carry through the product so it’s more than just a ‘thing.’ It’s a symbol of those connections. And I think people can really feel that.” Antanaitis designs a lot of the clothing and Christopher the jewelry—both hand select every item Floating Lotus carries. They’re also both musicians and offer a curated selection of musical instruments and singing bowls. “We focus on all the things that we love,” they explain. “We’ve been working with a lot of the same small, family businesses and artists for almost 20 years. All handmade, all fair trade, consciously sourced products, providing a sustainable
income for their artists as well because we come back every year. It’s something they can count on.” They also support women-owned businesses and cooperative groups in these developing countries. Antanaitis and Christopher return each winter to design work, choose fabrics and select stones for jewelry. “We go back to Thailand, Indonesia, Nepal and India” and have also sourced items from Peru, Ecuador, Guatemala and Morocco. Here in the U.S., they’re working with native groups in the southwest, Arizona and New Mexico as well as local artists from Cape Ann. “We like to go back to the same people and work with them but then like to leave time to find some new discoveries or to find ourselves.” And when they return from traveling, “they’re always grateful for the opportunity to live in such a beautiful part of the world.” Both credit the Cape Ann community with supporting small independent businesses as they themselves are doing. “We are continuously inspired.” As you will undoubtedly be inspired by them. Sometimes in the seemingly most unlikely of places or moments, could be a spontaneous long weekend on Cape Ann, a dream is born.

Annisquam Harbor Lighthouse (Annisquam Light) was erected in 1801 to mark the entrance to the Annisquam River at Wigwam Point, a popular Native American summer encampment. The river connected Ipswich Bay to Gloucester Harbor following the construction of the Blynman Canal. Annisquam Light’s wooden frame was replaced with the existing 41-foot brick

One of the station’s more famous occupants was noted artist Winslow Homer, who spent a year living at the light in 1880. Although not open to visitors, the lighthouse presents a wonderful view, especially from the vantage point of the adjacent Dog Bar Breakwater. Visitors are welcome to walk along or fish from the flat granite blocks atop this massive quarter-mile long structure, which has protected Gloucester Harbor from storms since 1904.

Ten Pound Island Lighthouse Equal interval red light every 6 seconds. This lighthouse is located on Ten Pound Island in Gloucester Harbor. The light was constructed in 1821 to mark the island and act as a guide for navigating Gloucester’s inner harbor. Rebuilt in 1881 from cast iron with brick lining, the tower is 30 feet tall with a focal plane of 56 feet. Visible from many locations along Gloucester’s waterfront, tiny Ten Pound Island proudly housed America’s first Coast Guard station. The light was restored and relighted through the efforts of the Lighthouse Preservation Society. For more information, visit lighthousepreservation.org.
inal Fresnel Lens of the South Tower, installed in 1861, is on display at the Cape Ann Museum in Gloucester. The North tower has an amber steady light which is maintained by Thacher Island Association as a “courtesy” memorial light to mariners who have passed away. The original 45-foot towers were constructed and lit in 1771 making them among the oldest of America’s lighthouses. The stout 123-foot granite towers seen today (with a focal point of
166 feet above sea level) replaced the original lights in 1861. The two towers, North and South, were constructed and placed so that when a ship puts sights on both towers, they point to true north, allowing sailors to check and adjust their compasses. The Thacher Island Association provides launch service from T-Wharf in Rockport Harbor to the island during the summer months, with advance reservations.
