Magnolia is a small village in Gloucester, located in Essex County, Massachusetts, United States, on the Manchester-by-the-Sea town line in the southwestern part of the city. Straddling the town line between the two communities is Surf Park,[1] a two-acre swath of land that has scenic views of Kettle Cove.

Magnolia has its own library,[2] restaurants, and shops. Another feature of Magnolia is its beach, which goes by the official name Gray Beach[3] and is a part of Coolidge Reservation. Union Congregational Church[4] is located in Magnolia, as is Hammond Castle.[5] The village has its own Women's Community Club, which has been in existence for over 60 years.[6]
