All about Rockport

Perched at the tip of a peninsula jutting into Aransas Bay, the laidback coastal getaway of Rockport has been loved by artists and beachgoers for decades. In the quaint downtown area, eclectic galleries and studios stand beside historic buildings such as old-school motor courts, the Fulton Mansion State Historic Site, and the town’s original one-room schoolhouse.

For many, Rockport’s charms lie in its natural surroundings. There are miles of smooth, sandy beaches to enjoy, and nearby San Jose Island is a popular beachcombing and shelling spot. The many bays, canals, and mangrove-lined channels around Rockport have calm, shallow waters that are good for kayaking. Parklands here protect massive, windswept live oak trees, including the 44-foot-tall, thousand-year-old Big Tree in Goose Island State Park. Rockport is also a birding destination, with 10 sites on the Great Texas Birding Trail.

What are the top things to do in Rockport?

Aransas Wildlife Refuge

The 115,000-acre Aransas Wildlife Refuge is just over an hour outside of town, but it’s well worth the trip, especially for birders. More than 400 bird species live here for all or part of the year. Visit between October and April for a chance to encounter the only natural wild flock of whooping cranes, which nests in Canada and winters here. The refuge is also home to white-tailed deer, javelinas, American alligators, and armadillos. Drive the 16-mile paved road through the park, climb the observation tower, or stroll the boardwalk that runs through a salt marsh and out to the coast. You can also visit the whooping cranes by boat; tours leave from Fulton Harbor.

Rockport Beach Park

The mile-long Rockport Beach Park in the middle of town features 65 covered picnic sites, playgrounds, a natural saltwater pool, boat launching ramps, and a public fishing pier. The beach itself was the first in Texas to be named a Blue Waves Beach, a designation that recognizes clean, environmentally friendly beaches. The breezy spot is also a favorite for windsurfers and kite-flyers.

Rockport Center for the Arts

In 1969, a group of like-minded local artists formed the Rockport Art Association, and, in 1983, the collective acquired the beautiful, historic Victorian building that now houses the Rockport Center for the Arts. The center hosts free exhibitions by local and international artists and holds classes and workshops. Be sure to wander through the outdoor sculpture garden.
