Located less that a 1-minute from public boat launch and a 7–10-minute drive into town where you will find shopping, dining and entertainment. If you have questions, please be sure to send me a message and I would be most happy to answer and provide information so you can plan a fantastic trip to Rockport.
Stevie Lew's BBQ is on the other side of the street going back towards town and in that same parking lot is Rockport Coffee and Bakery with cinnamon rolls as big as your head!! The only downside is the bakery is not open Sunday through Tuesday.
