Halibut Point State Park, Rockport

This state park in Rockport marks the tip of Cape Ann, with a rugged landscape overlooking the sea. The park is closely tied to the region’s granite industry and WWII histories, and on a clear day, visitors can see Mount Agamenticus in Maine, 40 miles away. The park has a picnic area and restrooms, making it the perfect spot to spend a weekend afternoon. 4 Gott Ave., Rockport, 978-546-2997, mass.gov/locations/halibut-point-state-park
