I always love coming back home to Gloucester. Beautiful. Love seeing the Boston lights from here on a nice clear night.

Great hidden attraction, however resident sticker required for cars . Quite and not crowded due to the small number of parking spots. Two Porta Potties were available. Nice place for outdoor picnic on our bike journey.

Parking is for residents only so you may need to bike here during the season. off season, they dont seem to mind as much. Its a beautiful beach with protected waters even on stormy days. The bottom visibility is 5 to 10 feet if your attempting free diving. At least it was in the end of October 2020. Seagrass, muddy sediments crabs, starfish at 10 to 20 feet.The beach itself had nice calm waves if any and a gentle slope. I wouldnt surf here. if there are big waves, then there must be a terrible storm in Massachusetts

Sunset is amazing at Niles beach. It is a resident only parking until 6 PM. The beach is very relaxing and the sand is perfect. Small pebbles on the beach and in the water

Great little beach. On street parking with resident sticker in season. At high tide there is very little beach and there are many little stones close to shore which are covered at high tide. At low tide, the stony areas can produce beach glass. No services.

Beautiful scenery and sunset! You can see th city of Boston off in the distance also

Beautiful views. Beauport homes, the breakwater and Stage Fort Park to the right. On a clear day or night, you can see Boston.

A little Jem !!Gorgeous sunsets, views of Boston. Quiet and romantic.

Great harbor veiws, a harbor beach though meaning gentle waves warmer water. Fantastic sunsets over the outer harbor. Not a a affair at all to go to this more quiet beach, especially if you live within walking distance because the parking sucks and is resident sticker parking only.

Soft sand. Crystal clear water. Beautiful surroundings

Beautiful, peaceful and off the beaten path.

Great place to watch the sunset with boston in the distance.

This is the best place to come sit even if its just parked in your car! The only place that you will get a skyline view of Boston... and the sunsets are just gorgeous... add in the sound and smell of the ocean and why would you want to be anywhere else... Ill be honest, its not a beach I go to for swimming, I prefer big waves, but its a great beach if you have small children (easy to keep an eye on them), or just to hang out and enjoy the scenery!

Wonderful view of the harbor and on a clear day a view of Bostons skyline.

Id taken a long drive to escape home for a bit. Tired of the pandemic solitary. I parked at Niles Beach for the ocean breeze, scent and sounds. It was great.

Nice beach with a view of a harbor. You can only park there if you are a Gloucester resident.

Beach with pebbly sand everywhere. clear with clean water year round. Beach sticker parking only. no bathroom, although they have the portable bathrooms that would be the Eastside of the beach. great for kids to play.water is very swimmable. no waves or strong currents.have fun. #uber

Great beach to watch a sunset.

Great for kids because the beach is right next to the parking spots. Thecsabd and water are ok but not as nice as the bigger beaches.

Views of gorgeous Eastern Point and of Boston skyline.

Best view of boston. beautiful place to watch the sunrise and sunset (believe it or not). go around the rest of the back shore to see the other side of the sun rise/set. lovely beach to swim/relax and walk the doggies, too!

One of the best beaches for non-locals to visit.

Glass and trash everywhere. Definitely do not recommend going barefoot in the sand. Other than that it was beautiful!

I grew up in Gloucester but havent been to Niles beach in years. It sure isnt the prettiest beach in town but Ive always liked it there. If you have little ones its a good place for you as you can see them much easier than the bigger beaches. Its also a great place to jump in at night. Parking is tough during the day. But I love to go there!

Great spot to see the sunset

Beautiful, but resident only parking.

Resident parking only. They dont want you here.

Great little compact beach to visit if youre in the area.

Located on Eastern Point Road with convenient parking, Niles beach offers monumental views of Gloucester Harbor [In season this beach is sticker parking only]. Overshadowed by Gloucesters heavy hitters like Wingaersheek and Good Harbor Niles is an easy visit by car and worthy visit.

You can see Boston. Also its a beach for moms.

I Love Gloucester, so anywhere that We go when are there is awesome.... But, truly this is a cute little beach that you might not find unless you are truly looking for it, but you should. The view is incredible.... on a nice clear day, youre looking right at the Boston skyline, i swear....

Its a beach. Not much more to say here. Maybe the sand could feel a little softer between your toes, maybe not. Its really a preference. Waters pretty wet as well.

Its sunsets are always beutilful. free to park sassy access. nice little beach

A lovely place to relax and watch the sunset.

Love watching the tide roll from the car

Simple honest beach...Allot of visitors love to walk the beach.

This is my fav beach~~Nice and private

Beautiful sunsets. One of the rare west facing beaches on the east coast.

Great sunset

Great place to walk and enjoy the sea air and beauty.

A quieter beach than the big beaches which can be nice. Resident parking right at the beach

Small and highly accessible. Great views of sailing ships.

Grampy passed away, I drove down to Gloucester and this has always been a go to spot to gaze out to sea and reflect.

Beautiful beach for viewing sunset in New England

Great way to see the city lights without traveling down Rte 1 or I93

Super cute! Street parking available

Nice beach, limited parking, great spots to explore on the northern section during low tide

My fathers Beach.

Nice Place! Good for Kids... Quiet and good for rest.

A very lovely beach nice and clean plenty of parking enjoy the cleaning water

Beautiful you can see Boston straight out of the Atlantic Ocean

Anchored in a storm, in the Shoulder Season like we do...5to1 all chain...not suffering!

Beautiful setting. Small beach but lovely for photos

Nice and clean

Great local beach with nice views of low tide.

Cant wait to come back!!!

Excellent sunsets

Beautiful

Parking is right at the sand. Easy to unload beach items.

One of my favorite places to go in Gloucester

Sleeper beach in E. GLOUCESTER. Very nice views to Boston

Did a beach clean up here. Gorgeous beach, but lots of trash and no trash cans for patrons to use!

Nice view of Gloucester Mass. There are some private beaches.

Great beach for relaxing, calm waters and Sea-glass hunters like me, this beach has a great view of Bostons skyline!

Wicked storm at this beach

Absolutely beautiful

Great beach, great view of the Boston skyline on a clear day.

A very nice beach to sit at night

One of the best places to watch the sun go down on Cape Ann!

Beautiful beach

Nowhere to park at all. Residents

Very little people there

Quiet, quaint beach

It is so beautiful

Beautiful!

Beyond this beach was private property.

Nice beach. Seems to have private parking only. It is kind of small and not as clean as others in the area but still a beautiful view.

Awesome place to look for beach glass. Shallow, gentle water great for toddlers (swim shoes recommended due to quantity of shells, pebbles, and beach glass)

To find parking spot, you have to get there earlyNice and clean.Beautiful place.I recomend.

Beautiful area. Food & potties around.

Amazing views.

Loved the walk on the beach and the views were awesome!

Great!

Great spot when you want calm waters.

Quiet place to go on a warm spring evening.

The view of Bostons skyline is fantastic but there is a lack of substantial parking. Somewhat sheltered with almost no surf.

One of the best in town!!!...

Wonderful...

Love this beach, great place to take the kids.

Great little spot for a few hours, A little rocky.

Its so relaxing and the sunsets are pure eye candy!

Lovely locals only beach

Cool runnings

Nice and quiet!

Shouldnt talk about this place but the locals know its the perfect beach

This is probably one of the best public beaches in the North Shore. Clean, with bathrooms and food.Parking is quite expensive though: $25

Local gem

Perfect place to view the sunset and also the Boston city skyline.

My peace and serenity

Good for sea glass little smelly nice people around
