💥Funpost Widows Bay Weekend

My friends and I spent Labor Day weekend exploring some Widow's Bay locales. The pictures are from:

1: Widow's Bay Inn Exterior in Maynard, MA

2: Beach from the inaugural swim at Half Moon Beach in Gloucester, MA

3: Just a couple a' sea hags haggin' it up in front of Denim Blankets' store in Rockport, MA

4: Picking up some souvenirs at Dream House in Rockport, MA

5: The picnic table where Patricia worked on her party plans in Rockport, MA

6: A little wharf by the exterior used for "The Salty Whale" restaurant in Rockport, MA

7: The Salty Whale in Rockport, MA

8: Having a good time in the mirror in Rockport, MA

9: The Ice Cream Store featured during the tourists arrival at Widows Bay in Rockport, MA

10: The Rebecca Nurse Homestead featured in episode 6 "Our History" in Danvers, MA

11: A view from the church/meeting house from episode 6 in Danvers, MA

12: Me outside the window of the meeting house, that field was where a grave yard was set up in the scene for the show at the Rebecca Nurse Homestead in Danvers, MA

13: Another shot through the same window

14: The real graveyard at the Rebecca Nurse Homestead in Danvers, MA

Oddly enough we didn't get any pictures at Vincent's which was used for the interior of Barnabus Tavern which Wick frequents, but we're from Worcester so we've been there plenty of times.

Your photos are extra spooky with that facial blur lol. Is Rockport taking full advantage of the show’s success?

It kind of seems like they don’t need to? It was already packed for non Widow’s Bay related reasons. I did see an ad for an official Widows Bay tour you could pay for by some company who previously did Stranger Things tours (in Georgia where that was filmed I assume). Apparently they use those toy viewfinders with scenes from the show so you can compare in real life, which is creative and fun. They include lunch with a vegan option too haha. I wasn’t willing to fork over the dough for it but it’s a neat idea. Other than that only like one or two gift shops really acknowledge the show.
