Cape Ann beaches

Beautiful little beach near us. Low tide sand flats are an amazing place for kids. There is *no parking* on Brackenbury Lane -- you must park on one of the nearby streets off of Hale St and walk down.

Philly has the cheese steak; New England has the steak & cheese sub. Our version is superior in every way. Try a large steak & cheese with peppers, egg, mushrooms, and hot peppers. Not for the timid eater.

交通資訊

The Commuter Rail is close and convenient

Check schedules here: https://www.mbta.com/schedules/CR-Newburyport/timetable Montserrat Station is about two minutes' walk from our front door. Traveling south, you are only 9 minutes from Salem and about a half hour from Boston's North Station. Traveling north, you have Cape Ann's beautiful and quintessentially New England seaside towns -- and beaches -- at your doorstep: Manchester, Gloucester, and Rockport.
