A really lovely state park. Well maintained and easy to walk around. The quarry is beautiful, and getting down to the water is easy enough if you want to. Just don't swim in it. If you do want to swim, the beach is not far off, and the cliff out there let's you see pretty far out.
Beautiful place! Lots of sights to see Adams great places to stick your feet in the ocean. A hidden gem.
Very beautiful views, a huge number of different types of birds
Nice views! Walk to the quarry and there is an overlook and ocean side route. $20 for non resident parking. Dogs ok on leash.
A must visit place to see a Beach with Beautiful Rocks.
A nice day out, climb on some big rocks. See some pools and stuff. A half day trip if that.
Here we find a natural park north of Rockport, you can walk around 3-4 km between great vegetation and the bay. You will see a small lake that is the Quarry and on both sides you can go to the bay to take great pictures.
We love the trails, climbing on the rocks to the ocean, and the seabirds. You can take a nice walk in a loop around the whole perimeter plus the inner trails around the old quarry are also pretty. It fills up in summer... Small parking lot. In Winter trails can be icy as they hold water.
Absolutely beautiful hidden gem. Head up to watch the sunset and you won't even have to pay to park
Quarry,plus seashore, plus Rocky ledge seashore, definitely great place to spend time walking the trails and exploring.
Amazing views of ocean and rock quarry, a cool hiking trail and access to beach make this an amazing relaxation place for weekend.
Amazing Cliffside views. Well kept trails. However the trails are not very long so Halibut Point is more of a half day trip.
Great location and trails well maintained with ocean views.
Pretty short hike with wood chips and pebbled trails. All of the look-out points showed beautiful sights of both the quarry and the coast. Careful on the slippery rocks, but good for a picture by the rocky waves :)
Tranquil during the day, gorgeous at sunset if you're at the right spot for the colors to explode like in the photos u posted, that's straight from the camera, but things need to align for it.
Beautiful place, whether you want to just walk the trail around the quarry or make you're way down to the rocks by the ocean!
It was a nice relaxing walk to the quarry and shore.
This place is really awesome but it's two stars because of the DCR staff. These geniuses close off the parking lot for hours even though there's open spaces and deny entry forcing people to park on the street FOR NO REASON. Not trying to insult their egos but a having one guy in the lot counting the spots and one guy at the front would be a better solution. Just my two stars.
Lovely park, especially the amazing looking view at the quarry.
A delightful find. I was hoping for more of a hike, and it's not that kind of place. It's more suited to finding a cozy romantic spot to sit and enjoy nature. If you like relaxing by the sea in a picturesque setting, or exploring tidal pools then this is a top notch destination.
Great place to spend half day with kids, dogs. The hike is easy. The ocean view is breathtaking. The quarry lake is beautiful.The sunset is awesome! It's free and have parking lot.
WAO IS A SUPER BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO GO WITH FAMILY, FRIENDS OR EVEN ALONE, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN CAMP BUT IT WOULD BE SUPER TO BE ABLE TO DO IT
Absolutely worth the trip.
But get in early, say by 10 am on a fall Sunday and way earlier during the summer, as the small parking lot fills up quickly and then the entrance is closed.
Beautiful approach to the ocean. Sitting on the granite rocks really gets one grounded, and the surf with the passing ships are just added beauty. The quarry is interesting. There was a dance troupe practicing their weekly performance.
Beautiful ocean views, hiking trails and plenty of space for a picnic and sunbathing.
Always dramatic and beautiful. Dress warmly, can be windy and cold!
Beautiful, easy walk around the quarry with views of the ocean. Could spend half a day here. Good for children and dogs, easy to find shady spots to rest. The Tower was closed due to Covid-19 but restrooms were open. Will definitely come back!
Come for the mini hike, stay for the sunset (and rainbow)!
One if the prettiest untouched places I've ever seen
Just wanted to follow up on a comment someone else made. We visited Halibut Point today. The cost is indeed $20 for out of state visitors to use the parking lot, but the bathrooms were open, very clean, and well stocked with soap and sanitizer. The park itself is lovely, shady paths for wandering, beautiful songbirds flitting about, the massive quarry with ocean views beyond, a rocky coastline for exploring tide pools, and a well maintained natural oasis. It was a Monday so no crowds and we were able to find a nice seat by the water with no one around to cool off and relax. I d say pack a lunch and make a half day of it to get your $20 worth if you re offended by the cost. We however enjoyed the experience.
Really cool rocks here. Like big big rocks. Rocks you can walk on. Rocks to jump on. Lots of cool rocks to take pictures on. If you like rocks, go here. If you don't like rocks, well, don't go here. Anyhow cool place. We parked down the street to avoid paying for parking. Smart idea. Parking was only $10 if I remember right...
Good place for a short walk. Lots of picnic tables. Small trails
I like this place and a swim in the ocean is always a treat
Great ocean views ! Short walk to quarry and ocean front.
Historical granite quarry of more than 150 years back. Now a tourist place.follow the trail given in brochure available at car park and enjoy the nature and sea at leisure.
If I mNot mistaken the parking area was closed On Saturday, May 16 so we were not able to enter , Maybe there s a back way in but did not seem to be the case
Exquisite views, manageable rocky walks along the ocean, and nature paths. Peaceful.
The quarry was beautiful! Very scenic view over the quarry and the ocean!
Very scenic place. A quarry lake plus access to sea shore. Good for spending a couple of hours in peaceful calm atmosphere.
This is an amazing spot, one of my favorites of the Cape Ann area , it's a short hike and a small fee for such a beautiful place
Love walking around these grounds. Such a beautiful place!
A good place to spend time with family and friends. Its well maintained. There is a rocky beach over here. View of the ocean from top is just awesome on a sunny day.
One of the most beautiful places I visited. There is a park in this place that people usually go for a walk and walk. It was a place where stones were removed today, in the place where stones were removed, there is a very beautiful lake, the water is greenish. Nice place
Nice trails and great views of a unique granite coastline
Beautiful! I proposed to my wife here. We finally brought our three kids and they love it. You can sit and relax all day on the rocks without the annoying sand everywhere.
Parking is terrible and attendants are very rude when trying to ask a question.
Driving an hour there may not be worth it if you can t get in and are not allowed to wait nearby for spot to open up.
Very nice walk around the Quarry down to the ocean the waves were 8ft with a nice barrel. I thought it was very peaceful
Very nice park with a great view of the ocean. The only problem is that the parking lot is very small and so you might have to wait for avaible parking.
Best place to stargaze near Boston, avoiding the city lights.Could even spot a glimpse of milkyway on a dark no moon day.
Beautiful view of the sea and coast. Clean. Wildlife. Lots of walking trails. Visitor center was closed but looks newly renovated.
Nice little park with parking. Here fee $ 5 if with mark MA, otherwise $ 10.
Past an old, water-filled quarry to the rocky coast with magnificent views. With break about
1.5 hours. Mini restroom at the parking lot.
Beautiful view on the quarry lake and the hike to the ocean is great!
Easy to use parking system, one of the few parks with bathrooms open. Beautiful locale to relax by the ocean where the ocean and sky are blue.
Great spot for a walk on trails, rocks, by the Atlantic ocean. Lovely views and good parking
Short walk to the water, great views, a place to park in busy Rockport.
Great walking park with trails that take you right down to the water.
There are well-marked trails in the park. The quarry is spectacular and exploring the rocky is great. The views are fabulous on a sunny, clear day.
There is so many different areas and gorgeous views at this park!!
My favorite ocean spot. More than just a beach...actually it isn't a beach all.
Great place, more local, not usually too busy, absolutely gorgeous
Perfect place to spend a romantic evening. Water is clean. Picturesque views at the horizon.
Absolutely fantastic views, especially in the sunset
Great place to walk on the rocks and hike on some trails. For sure better than walking along a beach.
Fantastic destination for outdoor hikes, runs, and walks with dogs. Fairly secluded and private, but also well maintained and beautiful. Access to the rocky beach. Views of New Hampshire and Maine coastline on a clear day.
Beautiful sunset over the ocean, after a nice short hike.
Educational self guided tour. Plenty to do and see for the entire family. Great scenery all year round. An easy hike around the query. Plenty of wild life around and in the tide pools.
Halibut is a gorgeous park. Amazing to see a quarry right next to the ocean. Highly recommend for an easy hike with kids of all ages.
