This was our first trip to the East Coast and you will find out quickly that it is not cheap to stay in this area. Our first stop in Gloucester was the visitors center.

Our family have been staying at the Sea Lion Motel & Cottages since our children were very young and the tradition has continued to the next generation. Even years ago when it was owned by others untill 1999 , it was the perfect accommodation for families. Since 2000 with the new ownership however, it is even more special. The motel... More

The charter boat captain recommended The Sea Lion saying it was clean and comfortable. I called... More
