    Hiking

    Half Moon Beach is a small, crescent-shaped beach hidden by rocky cliffs in Stage Fort Park. This sandy beach is truly a hidden-gem; you follow stone step down to the beach from the main park area. Once you're there, you can relax on the sandy shores, scramble over rocks looking for sea life, or watch boats come in and out of Gloucester harbor.
