Destination guide

Art, wildlife, and beautiful scenery in Rockport

The creative seaside community of Rockport welcomes you for your quiet family-friendly getaway. Protected from harsh sea weather by its bay, and known for its rich artistic history, Rockport has become a destination for water enthusiasts and art lovers alike. A Rockport vacation rental near the water allows you to paddle out to the old lighthouses or get some good shots for your album.

Things to do

Rockport’s world-class art and cultural experience

Home to the oldest art colony in the country, Rockport’s charm is in its artistic culture. The Shalin Liu Performance Arts Center hosts world-class shows all year, and a multitude of galleries highlight local artists. Meet up at Dock Square for a free family-friendly walking tour of the downtown art district. Learn the history and see notable architecture such as Motif No. 1, an old boating house once used by the fisheries. Known as the most painted building in America, you must get a picture in front of it, or no one will believe you were here.

Activities

Pristine waters ideal for diving and sailing in Rockport

A Rockport vacation rental near Loblolly Cove is the perfect place to dock between family-friendly water-bound adventures. Go diving and swim among marine life. Tour the bay on a seal-watching cruise or sign up to learn how lobsters are caught and processed. Then, eat at one of many excellent seaside restaurants. The tranquil water is perfect for sailing and kayaking. Later, take a stroll down Main Street where you will find unique boutiques and art galleries for your shopping pleasures. You can’t leave this picturesque town without an authentic souvenir.

Weather

Brisk climate makes Rockport your off-season getaway

Rockport’s season runs from the end of May through to the end of the year. This quaint suburban town blossoms when the temperatures are warmest, rarely reaching above 80 degrees. Expect to find everything that Rockport offers during these months. However, if you’re looking for a quiet place to rest and rejuvenate, a Rockport vacation rental during the winter months provides you with a peaceful sanctuary to enjoy the art and water. Cozy up with some cocoa near a warm fire, and be sure to call ahead for activities during the winter months.

Guided tours through the Rockport woods lead you to the ghost town Dogtown and by the Babson Word Rocks from the Great Depression.
