 Looking westward along Coffin’s Beach to the houses on Two Penny Loaf, across the Essex River to Cranes Beach and beyond to Plum Island. From this vantage, on a clear day, we can also see the Isle of Shoals on the New Hampshire – Maine border. It still amazes me that just 15 minutes away by car is Niles Beach from which we can view the Boston skyline, so that from two locations in the City of Gloucester we can enjoy the view of more than 50 miles of beautiful New England shoreline.
