Wingaersheek Beach is a beautiful beach with soft sand, clear water, and plenty of space to relax…read more The beach itself is definitely worth visiting. That said, there were a few frustrating parts of the experience. If you're not a Gloucester resident ( i'm a massachusetts resident) parking is $48, which is quite expensive. Even though I had a reservation, I was directed to the farthest parking lot, about a half-mile walk from the beach. There were plenty of open spots in the resident parking area, but we still weren't allowed to park there. The food and beach shop were also very pricey, so I'd recommend bringing your own snacks and drinks if you can. Overall, it's a great beach, but be prepared for high parking fees, a longer walk, and expensive concessions.

There were families, tourists, college kids, locals, and of course, love birds!! ;) We enjoyed our little walks and stopping to rest. While resting, we enjoyed people watching, the waves, and surfers. What's not to like?!?! The waves are so beautiful and relaxing! It doesn't matter if it's cloudy or sunshine. It's just the doctor ordered!!

I fell on a rock, and I struggled to get back up. another time, I decided to go in the water and try to sit on the rock, but the thing is why is the sand so FUCKING DEEP? It could've been like 3 feet and I would've been okay, but it was like 5?! THE HELL? Never in my GODDAMN life that I would've been complaining over a beach but here I am. Why? I am a local and I would rather shoot myself with a hunter's rifle then swim here. Go to Good Harbor instead.

Parking can make things a little tricky, but you won't need to walk for more than 10-15 mins from your spot to access the beach. Beach access is $10 a head, which may seem steep but I think is pretty average for beaches nowadays. The sand was nice, the beach staff was friendly, and the water was SO clean. We even spotted a couple of seals. Will go back!

A very beautiful place to go for a walk! As a Trustee…read moreMember, I can park for free but otherwise it is about $5. Still not bad for the beautiful hike around quarries and the ocean. Everything is well maintained and it is very relaxing.

Growing up a few towns away led me to enjoy many visits here over the past 30 years. But last…read moreweekend was my first visit in around 5 years. It was good to see some small upgrades around the land, starting with a revamp of the parking area and more identifiable main signage to lead you into the park. The Trustees of Reservations segment of the land is now also more clearly delineated, though there is no additional admission charge or anything like that. The trails themselves maintain a timeless and spirited quality that encourages exploration and staying in the moment. The views are certainly something to behold, which I appreciate more now as an adult and needing to make the effort if/when I want to return to these surroundings.

If you can rent one of the quaint cottages directly on the beach, it adds to the experience. Nothing beats opening your front door, sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee and watching the world idly wake up... At the end of August, Long Beach Day is held with a host of family fun activities for the kids to enjoy and the adults to bring out their competitive sides for wheel barrow racing, 3 legged racing etc... And one thing that makes me happy, happy... is my departure from Boston on a summer Friday @ 5.30pm and arriving at the beach in Rockport by 6.15/6.30 max... It beats the trip south to the Cape, hands down...
