Secure yourself a spot at Rockport Beach Park

From there you can grab your beach gear and head on over to the world-renowned Rockport Beach Park. The Beach is one of the best and cleanest beaches in the nation and is a “Blue Wave” certified beach. It’s great for children and adults alike. There are nice concrete cabanas with BBQ pits throughout the beach area as well as on the Little Bayside. If you want a good spot you may want to get there as early as possible. The crowds that weekend get huge and the coveted spots fill up quickly! Don’t worry though there is plenty of room if you just bring your lawn chair.
