Cape Ann Motor Inn is located directly on Long Beach, a beautiful stretch of sandy beach, which begins begins in Gloucester and ends in Rockport. Long Beach is one of the cleanest in New England. It is flat with a gradual drop off, making it great for children and adults. Guests often enjoy a walk at night, with blue illuminating lights, the moon overhead and the light from the lighthouses of Thacher Island, just off shore.

We are open all year, and Gloucester is a great off-season getaway, only about 45 minutes from greater Boston. The sound of the surf and the restful view of the ocean is a great way to re-charge and
re-connect. You'll also love that Cape Ann Motor Inn offers great off season rates.

Enjoy complimentary pastries and coffee in our lobby each morning. You can search our Nearby Attractions and restaurants here on our internet computer, and enjoy sitting in front of the fireplace in cool weather. We are AAA approved and directly on the ocean.

We have recently added a gazebo and pleasant garden area. Guests enjoy reading and relaxing in this shady area, and weddings are occasionally held here as well.

Of course the main attraction is the beach itself. We have lots of great photos to show you. See our Photo Tour page for all of our photographs of the hotel and beach.
