7 Circle Charters for whale watches from Gloucester -- book online in summer, they sell out on peak July and August dates.

Eastern Point Lighthouse is worth the detour from Good Harbor -- the harbor seal colony on the breakwater is best viewed from the water.

Good Harbor kayak launches from the north end of the beach -- the water behind Salt Island is calm and sheltered, good for beginners.

Cape Ann striper fishing is best from July through October -- the rocky coast holds fish that the open-beach spots don't.
