Review:
One of the two Gloucester beaches in Stage Fort Park, Half Moon Beach earned its name due to the crescent-shape of its formation, resulting in calm waves and ideal paddling or swimming conditions on warm days.
The surrounding park offers a lot of shade and nice grassy areas to have picnics or simple strolls, and the beach itself offers some unbeatable views of the nearby harbor.
Kayaking is very popular around Half Moon Bay, and the beach is a super spot to spend a sunny day lazing around with a good book or good company. Fishing and sailing are highly enjoyable off this beach as well.
