Rebuilding Rockport!
Rockport's Harbor is a beautiful place to take in the sea. It's right in the middle of downtown, with so much stuff within a short distance from the harbor. The harbor itself is a picturesque setting, with lots of fishermen, bait stands, yachts and dinghies, and plenty of birds. Rockport is known as an artistic community, so the harbor is a favorite subject of many of the local artists.
The harbor offers mooring for your boats, but you gotta pay a fee. You can also load your boat in somewhere in here as well.
Rockport Beach is right down the way from the harbor, as is the Texas Maritime Museum, the Aquarium, and the Sculpture Gardens are right there as well. This harbor is right in the middle of everything!
There's a long causeway that takes you out into the ocean, where the handrails got mangled in the recent hurricane, but it's still safe and dry to walk out there. Pelicans watch you suspiciously as you walk by.
The harbor itself is not to swim in, go on down to the beach just a few hundred yards away. read more
