I think this is one of the best places to take pictures around town. It is America's oldest working ship yard. They still hall boat out of the water using an age old system that uses the tides and a cradle to move the boats on and out of the water. When they are closed after 5 and on weekends, you can walk around and se all the boats they are working on.

Cape Ann Whale Watch
415 Main StWhale watching is awesome!
This granite pier jets out into the ocean is what creates the breakwater for the harbor. You can walk out to end of the dog bar. There is a lighthouse there too. It costs $5 to park there and is a great spot for photos. If the Eastern Point Guard tries to stop you, just tell him you are heading to the Dogbar.
