The best dog friendly neighborhoods in Gloucester

Magnolia/ West Gloucester
Dog-friendly Stage Fort Park lies on a promontory on the Inner Harbor in this neighborhood. From its paths, you and your fur-buddy are treated to views of beautiful Gloucester Harbor. The 2 beaches are off-limits to dogs, but Fido is allowed in all other parts of the park, on leash. Bring him to an outdoor concert or storytelling event in the summer! The park is also host to Gloucester Dog Park, which features 3 sections: large dog, small dog, and “Tino’s Corner,” a time-out area for pups that need a break from the excitement. The dog park also offers an agility center, water fountains, and waste bags, along with lots of shade trees. There are boulders for “King of the Mountain” games, and especially for humans are the benches placed under shady gazebos. This dog park even features human restrooms. Ravenswood Park nearby features 600-acres of wooded landscape containing stands of hemlock and a magnolia swamp, along with 10 miles of carriage paths and trails. The overlook to Gloucester Harbor is a must-see, as is the boardwalk trail across the Great Magnolia Swamp. Fido will be as fascinated as you are with the flora and fauna found here but remember to keep him leashed.

Gloucester City Center
Gloucester’s City Center resides at the north end of the harbor. This area features some dog-friendly restaurants where you and your fur-baby can wet your whistles at the outdoor seating areas and get a bite to eat! The Topside Grill and Pub serves upscale fare like oysters on the half shell, and more casual items such as sandwiches. A bowl of water for your canine companion will hit the spot, as will a tall mug of their house-made ginger beer for you! The Blue Collar Lobster Company is right on the wharf and features, besides a seat at the table for your pup, lobster cooked several ways, along with shrimp, haddock, oysters and clams. You will need to leave Fido outside while you go inside to order. If a frozen treat is what you crave, head on over to Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt where you’ll find a long list of yogurt flavors and an even longer list of toppings. Leave your pup outside while you order, but be sure to bring her a cup of her favorite!

East Gloucester/ Bass Rocks
This easternmost neighborhood of Gloucester is home to dog-friendly Good Harbor Beach, one of Gloucester's jewels. It offers a white sand beach and convenient parking, along with lifeguards during the summer months. The high tide is big enough to body surf, while at low tide, the beach extends out to Salt Island, where you and your fur-buddy can walk and explore. Between October 1st and April 30th this beach permits off-leash pup play, too! For an after-beach snack or lunch, be sure to visit Cape Ann Coffees, a coffee shop that offers breakfast and lunch sandwiches, chowder, quiche and more. Fido is welcome at one of the outdoor tables.

Heights at Cape Ann/. Private Way
The Heights at Cape Ann neighborhood of Gloucester sits to the west of the city center. Although most of it is not on the harbor, it is positioned on Ipswich Bay, upon which Wingaersheek Beach resides. Wingaersheek is 1 of only 2 beaches to allow off-leash dogs on the beach between October and May, the other being Good Harbor Beach. A low-tide sandbar makes this the perfect destination for a long walk with your furry best buddy, and the white sand main beach calls for blankets and umbrellas while the 2 of you relax and enjoy the breezes off the bay. If you’re staying in the area, the dog-friendly Cape Ann Campsite is for you. From RV sites with a water view or tenting under the trees, every site features a fireplace and picnic table. A camp store is stocked with necessities and some foods, and there are plentiful shower and restroom buildings for privacy. Woof-derful!

Open 24 hours, year-round, Stacey Boulevard is a walking destination sure to please you and your furry friend.
