Niles Beach
Niles Beach is located on Eastern Point Boulevard in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Niles Beach does not offer many amenities; as a result this may not be the best choice for a long day with kids. With the beach only being steps away from the parking area it a great choice for a few hours in the sun. A thick band of seaweed often creates a clear separation of soft sand and packed sand on the beach. Sparse coverage of small rocks and shells share the beach where the water is often calm enough for scuba training. This small residential beach is a great for a quick stop to enjoy the seascape or a quiet day at the beach.
