Good Harbor Beach is one of the most popular beaches on Cape Ann, a wide sandy stretch backed by dunes and a tidal creek. It’s a beach break that works on northeast and east swells, drawing both a swimming crowd and a surf crowd depending on conditions. The cam is hosted by The Vista, a motel that overlooks the beach from every room.
About the Break
Good Harbor works best on northeast groundswells in the fall and winter months, similar to nearby Long Beach, though it can get crowded with swimmers and families in summer given its popularity as a general beach destination. Sandbars here shift seasonally with storm activity.
