Things To Do During an Off Season Day Trip to Gloucester, MA

With plenty of beaches and trails to explore during the summer season, it’s hard to find a reason to leave the comfort of our home and that warm cup of coffee in the off season. Last weekend, I had the joy of exploring what Gloucester, MA has to offer evening during a December in New England.

Start your day off by fueling your body with a traditional American brunch at Sugar Magnolias where that warm cup of coffee will hit a little different.

Next, you can explore some of the local shops including Dog Town Books where you'll find some of the best used and unusual books 📚

Finally, head over to Hammond Castle Museum to explore the life and legacy of Mr. Hammond through his Medieval inspired castle home. The interior design, international art, and ocean view will leave you speechless! I absolutely loved all the decorations for the holiday season making this a perfect off season spot to visit

Don’t forget to check the tour guide hours to get the most out of this snapshot into the past. Explore the website to see all the incredible events taking place at Hammond Castle all year long. I am personally looking forward to all the holiday events!
