• ​At the Seafarer Inn, we think planning your getaway should be easy. With this thought in mind, we compiled a list of activities, destinations, and restaurants for the towns of Cape Ann -– Rockport, Gloucester, Manchester, and Essex. As an inn of Rockport, we are admittedly somewhat more knowledgeable regarding our local happenings, but tried hard to include all the notable destinations, activities, and restaurants in Cape Ann, “Massachusetts other Cape.” With so many things to do in Rockport and the rest of Cape Ann, our list is a work in progress and will continue to expand as we’re turned on to new things to do in Essex County, MA.

 

  • Our Upcoming Events section changes as often as New England weather, so check this page frequently to see what deals and events are coming up in Rockport, MA.

Businesses, such as parks, restaurants, and whale-watching tours, open and close with the seasons.

We advise that you call the business to verify their open/close status.
