We got the Steak Tips and Eggs (2 eggs, toast, homefries)
And the Potato Delight (2 dropped eggs on a potato fritter, hollandaise sauce and toast).
The steak tips were cooked just right, with a hint of BBQ sauce, while the potato fritter was made of mashed potatoes and deep fried to crispiness, going really well with the rest of the eggs.
Pretty good meal at a small town diner.
Our next destination was Long Beach in Rockport, although the entrance to it is at the end of Rockport Road in Gloucester.
Really nice beach, though a little crowded.
From here, I left to do some exploring as I could not find any free parking in the area, visiting Cape Hedge Beach at the end of Seaview Street, which was infinitely less crowded, although there was only residential parking here.
After walking up the hill to the South Woods Water Tower at 36 Thatcher Road,
It was on to the third beach of the day, Pebble Beach at 90 Penzance Street. The name made me think that it would not be a very good beach, but even though there were a lot of pebbles, quite a good stretch of it was pretty good, and I could park really close to the beach as well.
After checking out Camborne Pond behind the beach,
my last stop of the day was at the Loblolly Point area at the end of Old Penzance Road, where there are trails among the rocks,
where one can see Thacher Island
and Straitsmouth Island Light
And Loblolly Beach nearby.
Lunch was back in Gloucester at Salty Frank's Dogs, a small takeout place in the downtown area, where we got Lobster Rolls
And The Hillary Dog (cheese, bacon, BBQ sauce).
Not bad, but nothing special.
With that, a day of relaxation at the beaches in Rockport was finally at an end.
