Hurricane Erin Evidence At Good Harbor Beach

We went chasing the waves from Hurricane Erin and the sunset last night (more on each in a later post). I thought some of you might like to see how the ocean was responding at Good Harbor Beach near low tide.

Shark sightings Day 2 off Long Beach and Good Harbor. Big surf and blue sky #RockportMA #GloucesterMA

Aug 22, 2025

Both Long Beach and Good Harbor Beach were closed to swimming again due to shark sightings –and seals, too, viewed from Good Harbor. Rumors about a beached Great White circulated and dissipated. Long Beach reopened to swimmers. The waves are tremendous.

Lonely Good Harbor

Good Harbor looked very deserted on Wednesday.  The lifeguards were on duty to make sure swimmers were staying safe.  You could see the ocean and wind changing.
