Wingaerseek Beach is in Gloucester before you cross the annisquam.
I've never dove there, but think I would proceed very cautiously... it is right on the annisquam river and the boats are wall to wall there on the weekends (I was there on saturday) and there can be a very swift current through there.

Its a nice beach for the family great for kids.
It looks as though the left side might have potential for diving.
Parking is available for a price 15-25 a day rest rooms snack bar etc...

It's all sand! 100% sand and nothing but sand. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. And as someone else said, 'wall to wall boats'.

I will say you can see lot's of 'temporary wrecks' at this site. People anchor in 2 feet of water at high tide and leave for a while. They return to see their boats laying in the sand dry to the prop
They are able to get underway in about 6 hours. --Matt

How about Old Garden Beach, Back Beach? There are a few 'family friendly' spots!

You might try Stage Fort Park too. There's a lot of sand, but if you stick close to the rocks it can be an interesting dive, especially at high tide.
