Waves at Good Harbor Beach on Saturday

Even though it was frigid on Saturday, nothing can keep people away from the beach.  The waves were beautiful.

Clouds, sun, ocean, sand and sunset

Wednesday was a really pretty day after the snow.  Around sunset could not help myself and went to Good Harbor, State Pier and Magnolia Landing.

WHALES 5+ feeding between Salt Island & Long Beach visible from shore now! #GloucesterMA

Update: we spotted five or six right whales at 6:30AM just off the shore between Salt Island and Thacher. They remained feeding in the area for 11+ hours. Two crossed past the Rockport side of Long Beach, and back again. They were surprisingly fast at times! Post was updated during the day with more photos and videos. I hope some photogs with professional lens will be sharing soon.
