At only 12 acres it's too small for a regular training run, but if you want a short run on a great North Shore Beach this is the place. There are plenty of stretches that would lend themselves well to intervals, and the view can't be topped. Great place to take wonderful pictures and maybe even ride the waves in your kayak.
Directions:
From Route 128 (Exit 9), take Route 127 north (Eastern Avenue) toward Rockport 3 mi. At 5-way intersection, turn left onto Railroad Avenue (remains Route 127) and follow for 2.4 mi. Turn right onto Gott Avenue. Entrance is opposite the state park's parking lot. To avoid traffic in Rockport Center (during summer), pick up Route 127 north at Gloucester Rotary (Exit 11) and follow through village of Lanesville. After crossing into Rockport, pass Folly Cove and look for "State Park" sign leading to Gott Avenue on your left.
