The Good Life - Series 4 - Hidden Gloucester Quarry Jumping

Shot with - Andrew Feldman // Locations - Gloucester, MA // Langsford Beach //

Height - 15-30ft - cliffs surrounding the entire quarry allow for a wide array of jumping levels to choose from. Jumps range from 15-30/35ft.

Security Level: Medium - these quarries are private, and are utilized by the homes bordering the perimeter. When we were there, the homeowners did not seem to mind sharing the spot with us. We parked along the side of a gravel road about 100m away from the quarry. Avoid blocking the road or someone’s driveway. Check the water depth before you jump.
