Wingaersheek Beach located in Gloucester, Massachusetts is a popular beach for those with young children due to minimal waves as it is set in a cove and has some rocks to explore.
Located off Atlantic Ave is the parking area for Wingaersheek Beach. We visited in April, the off season. During Memorial Day thru Labor Day non town residents need to reserve a parking space in advance to visit Wingaersheek Beach. We did see changing rooms and bathrooms, but there were closed with it being April. I am not sure if any food, drink or other beach amenities are sold here.
We walked about a mile along the beach. With it being April there were a lot of people walking their dogs. I could see the attraction for young families. There were many kids exploring the rocks for sea creatures.
There was plenty of beach to spread out, you just may have to walk down the beach some. I am not sure we would return in the summer months for a beach day as we love to play in the waves. Good Harbor is not too far away and can have some amazing waves If you looking for a more laid back beach the this one is for you.
