Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Back Beach
Back Beach is a very easy site and should be interesting for all skill levels. Because of the easy of entry and proximity to parking, many come here watch the squid perform their antics during a night dive.
At the intersection of SR 127 and SR127A in Rockport (NE Cape Ann), turn South on SR 127A (Beach Street) to head into Rockport. In .2 miles, Back Beach will be on your left.

This site is great for beginner divers. The parking is amble and very close. There is a bathroom! The dive itself is somewhat interesting. It is basically a cove with large boulders on the side and sand in the center. Not much current and the visibility is average for this area. The only thing to be aware of is at sunset you can not see the beach well because of the position of the sun. We were happy to have had compass heading back to where we splashed. Worse case scenario is a walk on the beach :-)
