Great location for clam shack on BearSkin Neck. Pricey but handy if you get hungry. Personally Jen and I prefer Farnham's or Lobstah Land for fried seafood (better value) especially if you are eating a full meal.

Locals flock to the Causeway for excellent food ... great prices ... huge portions ... don't even think of ordering appetizers unless you have enormous appetites (really). My personal fav is Baked Haddock dropped on top of Caesar. But everything is really good. BYOB. If you ask to sit at the bar, you can cut your wait time in half. Bring a healthy appetite & be prepared to wait a half hour on nice summer day/night.

8 min drive - Very popular beach to catch rays & swim ... sunny summer weekends: go early or late (or you will sit in traffic to pay for parking). During Summer: Non-residents must go online to reserve parking (not more than 10 days in advance) at Good Harbor & Wingaersheek. Ugh. I don't how strictly it's enforced during non-peak hours. No cash payment at gate.

Crane's is a longer 30 min drive (Ipswich). Another Spectacular Beach (as long as the Greenheads are no longer in season ... Greenheads are nasty flies ... check the internet ... it's a couple weeks in July). Crane's has dunes. It's huge. And it's gorgeous.

Front Beach is a beautiful sandy beach (5 min walk to Rockport village). With raft to which you swim out, Lifeguards are sometimes on duty in summer. [15 min from 3 Jerdens] Not a stunning beach compared to other on Cape Ann. But it’s got a great view of Rockport + popular with locals + super close + it's FREE (if you walk). Parking can be problematic.
