Escape to historic Rockport, Massachusetts. For over 160 years, people have traveled to Rockport for our miles of lovely beaches, boulder-strewn paths through woods and glades, and that uncommonly magical light that has inspired painters since Winslow Homer. In an hour's pleasant drive north of Boston, you can enjoy a romantic getaway, exquisite dining and a unique shopping experience—all in a single day. The Rockport Chamber of Commerce invites you to use our online travel guide to find a vacation package that will give you a break from the bustle of city life. Come visit our seaside village just 40 miles north of Boston. Fishing is great here, with all choices available to you. Some of the best kept secrets of saltwater fishing are found in Rockport. The shoreline is ruggedly rocky, with steep drop-offs and surf pounding ashore but the fish hang in close. Go to Halibut Point off of Route 127 and wade the shore there. Or try the waters down around Long Beach. If you have a boat, put in at Pigeon Cove and fish anything that looks good. If you can get out to Thatcher's and Milk Islands you won't be disappointed.
