Rockport Harbor
"The ocean has been singing to me, and the song
is that of our life together..."
—Nicholas Sparks
We've been in our new home
for a week and it feels wonderful. Not only is it close to family but the
marina is located in a great area of town, with all kinds of activities and
amenities close by. Located around the harbor is the a Texas Maritime Museum,
Rockport Art Center and Sculpture Garden, Aquarium at Rockport Harbor, the Bay
Education Center, Rockport Beach, four bait stands that sell fresh shrimp,
oysters and crab, a fishing pier, and the Festival Grounds where a lot of the
festivals and Market Days are held. Just a block away are little boutiques, a
winery (Winery on the Bay), restaurants, art galleries and antique shops. I
know you can't provision a boat at these types of shops but they're fun to
wander through. For real provisioning a large grocery store, liquor store, drug
stores, Wal-Mart and several marine supply stores are within a few miles, all
very doable on a bike. Rockport offers cruisers just about everything they
need and it’s a very cute little town with wonderful views of the water.
