As you know, Cape Ann was hit with an extraordinary amount of snow this winter. Don’t worry… We’re still here and just as fabulous as ever! The sun has started to come out, temperatures are slowly rising and Cape Ann is emerging from under the mounds of snow.

Spring is here and we’ve been waiting with open arms! Even now there is a lot to do in our communities. The beaches are clear and open to enjoy. Local shops, businesses and restaurants are happy to have the streets cleared and are welcoming visitors from near and far!

A great way to help local businesses recover from the harsh winter is with Cape Ann Gift Certificates. They make great gifts and the money goes right back into the community. You can find a list of participating businesses here. They can be purchased at the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce and at both Shaw’s locations in Gloucester.
