Learn More About Rockport, MA

At the tip of Cape Ann Peninsula is Rockport, MA, a relaxed coastal town with a booming tourism industry. Officially founded in 1840 as a fishing village, Rockport has modernized, while still maintaining its quintessential New England charm.

While the town follows its historic roots as a fishing village, areas such as Bearskin Neck have evolved into thriving epicenters for local artists and galleries. With Rockport being small, there is an inherent walkability that makes it easy for residents and visitors alike to explore the plethora of locally owned businesses.

Rockport is 40 miles North of Boston, and the town’s commuter rail station provides convenient access to and from the city for both residents and visitors. Unlike many tourist destinations, Rockport has maintained a strong sense of community through its local business scene and thoughtful town development.
