If you’re looking to experience Cape Ann by getting out on the water, look no further! North Shore Kayak Outdoor Center offers tours of beautiful Rockport Harbor, a paddle to Thacher Island, or an overnight camping adventure. You’ll see five islands and three lighthouses. Two hour tours head to Straitsmouth Island and the 3 ½ hour tour lands on Thacher Island where you can explore the trails, enjoy the views from the top of a 124 foot lighthouse, or just relax at the landing site.
