One of “The 100 Best Small Art Towns in America,” Rockport is both a welcoming town and a fantastic holiday destination. Exploring Goose Island State Park is one of the exciting things to do in Rockport as you can spend the cycling and camping. Be sure to stop along the pier to see the locals fishing. For history, visit the Fulton Mansion State Historic Site where you can learn about life in Texas from over 130 years ago. If you’re interested in craft beers and wines, make sure to stop by for a quick glass (or two) at Winery on the Bay. As the town has mild weather, you can even enjoy the beautiful beach views directly from some beachfront rentals in Rockport. Some of the hotels here also share that same advantage!
