Geocache Description:

Summary

This is a quick cache on  the road to Good Harbor beach. Durring the Summer this would be a great cache to do. You can park in the parking lot, have fun at the beach and grab a quick cache. During the other seasons, pulling up right next to where the cache is located should be fine. Please to not park in the parking spots (unless you have a Gloucester Sticker) and please do not park in the residents drive ways.

Cache

The cache itself is a small mint containor. There might be room for very small tradable items and trackables. I have included a little swag so please take and place accordingly. 

Good Harbor Beach

Good Harbor Beach, Route 127A, Gloucester
This and Wingaersheek Beach are the favorites. Good Harbor is one of the most popular in New England. Even on very hot summer weekends the beach is not overly crowded because of it size. Additionally, the parking lots cannot handle enough people to allow the beach to become too crowded. The dunes and marshes that surround the beach make it walk-able from only a few hotels, and a couple of small neighborhoods. The parking is another story. The problem getting to Good Harbor isn't the beach-it's the parking lot, which fills up early on hot summer weekend days. If you're not a Gloucester resident, get there early or go later in the afternoon on hot summer weekend days.

Directions: From the end of Route 128 (the first set of lights) turn left, then right after the shopping plaza, then left. See the beach entrance a short distance ahead on the right.
