Rockport Beach
Rockport Beach Park overlooks Aransas Bay on the south Texas coast. This man-made beach is known for its pristine sand and amenities as well as its family-friendly environment. Vacationers will find volleyball courts, picnic tables, play areas, and a pier that’s a hot spot for bird watching and fishing. Additionally, travelers can go for a stroll along the promenade that backs the sands or set up chairs for relaxing and sunbathing on the beach, which past sun-seekers praised for its overall cleanliness. In fact, the shore is so pristine that it was recognized as the first Blue Wave Beach in Texas by the Clean Beaches Coalition.
