We’re pleased to note that LIFE.com named Gloucester one of the top 10 most underrated beach towns in America.

The slide show starts at http://www.life.com/gallery/42742/most-underrated-beach-towns#index/0, and the slides about Gloucester start here: http://www.life.com/gallery/42742/most-underrated-beach-towns#index/7.

LIFE.com has 1.3 million visitors per month so this is nice national exposure. Gloucester is the only Massachusetts beach town on the list.
