Niles Beach, Sandy beach in Gloucester, Massachusetts
The gentle waters of Niles Beach stretch along the eastern shore of Gloucester Harbor, creating a sheltered swimming area for visitors.
The beach has long served as a significant recreational area for Gloucester residents since the early development of Eastern Point neighborhood.
Local photographers and artists regularly gather at Niles Beach to capture the views of Boston's skyline and the mansions along Eastern Point.
During summer months, beach access requires a resident parking permit, though visitors can enter on foot without any entrance fees.
The protected location of Niles Beach allows clear views of Ten Pound Island lighthouse while maintaining consistently calm swimming conditions.
