Gloucester is one of the oldest cities in the United States, founded in 1623, and is located approximately 56 kilometers (35 miles) northeast of Boston. The city has long been a center of fishing and maritime culture, with its historic harbor playing a vital role in the development of the local fishing industry and seafaring trade.

The Gloucester coastline is remarkably diverse, featuring long sandy beaches like Long Beach, Good Harbor Beach, and Wingaersheek Beach, alongside rocky headlands and picturesque coves. Visitors can explore the working fishing harbor, stroll along scenic waterfronts, visit the historic downtown, explore the Cape Ann Museum, or pay respects at the Fishermen’s Memorial, a symbol of the city honoring those lost at sea.
