Halibut Point State Park

Halibut Point State Park is in Rockport MA, on Cape Ann.  One of the more beautiful man-made places I know of, where you can go to see nature.

The park consists of two main areas the quarry and the beach.  The quarry has filled in water over the years since it was abandoned...

Outside of the quarry, a lookout point was created with the surplus rock.  Fantastic views.

Down at the beach, people have used some of the extra rock to create some sculptures.

From up by the information center (the lighthouse-looking building), you get a spectacular view of both the quarry and the beach.  It's almost like a huge, eccentric swimming pool.
