30 miles north of Boston, visitors will find the towns of Gloucester, Essex, Manchester-by-the-Sea and Rockport. All of these towns make up a rocky peninsula on the Atlantic Ocean called Cape Ann, Massachusetts. Visitors to this area of the state will find lush beaches, whale watching tours and a host of other water activities. Finding an oceanfront hotel is not as difficult as it sounds since most of the accommodations sit on the coast just a short walk away from the water.
The Eden Pines Inn is located along the coast and overlooks Thatcher Island. All the suites overlook the ocean and feature cable television, wireless Internet access and private baths. Dining is available in the dining room with its fireplace or on the terrace where there is a scenic view of the coast. The inn is close to many of the Cape Ann attractions and activities such as the live performances in the local park, boat tours of Thatcher Island, sightseeing the historical buildings and churches, plus there is a golf course, biking and hiking through the local park.
