About Us

The Colonial Inn located in picturesque East Gloucester. Come stay with us. Relax and enjoy the ocean views, the ever changing panorama of our picturesque New England coast line, Gloucester harbor and colorful sunsets from our spacious ocean breeze swept porch.

We are a two block stroll to Niles Beach, Rocky Neck Art Colony ( the oldest active art colony in the country), a number of sumptuous restaurants and the Gloucester Stage Company. Visit the North Shore Art Association or Beauport Museum on Eastern Point or the Eastern Point Lighthouse where you can walk 1/2 mile out into Gloucester harbor on the granite dog bar / pier viewing of Gloucester in one direction and the distant Boston skyline. Venture to downtown Gloucester (2 miles) or to the other communities of Cape Ann, the Town of Rockport (4 miles) or to the towns of Essex and Manchester By The Sea, all within minutes.
