Video- Something You Don’t See Every Morning At Good Harbor Beach

Filmed 4:45AM 7/8/11 The Creek Good Harbor Beach

Good Harbor Beach, 1930

Good Harbor Beach, 1930 Alice M. Curtis/©Fredrik D. Bodin
As summer takes hold and hot weather becomes the norm, I think of this photograph, taken at the Brier Neck end of Good Harbor Beach. It looks hazy, hot, and humid. Details of the Back Shore and Moorland Hotel are lost in the haze. Beach goers seek out the water and hide in the shade. The number of umbrellas makes me think they knew about the effects of too much sun.

Gloucester Zen- Good Harbor Beach At Dawn July 5th 4:50AM

Sometimes when I bitch about having to get up at 3:45AM every morning for work I forget about being able to bring you scenes like this-

and then it all seems so worthwhile

(turn up your speakers and let the sound of the waves wash over you)

Dale Rosen writes-

Joey: Here’s my friend Liz Casey on her 60th birthday having fun at Good Harbor Beach.  The lifeguards were wonderful. They transported her from her wheelchair to the beach chair and then Liz and her friends were off.  This is what Liz (who has MS) wanted most for her birthday and Gloucester gave it to her! Thank you Gloucester.
