Limo service from Boston to Rockport MA

Rockport, MA, is a coastal town of food, shopping, and seaside charm. It’s the perfect place to relax by the ocean, browse the work of an incredible number of artists, and of course, eat a lobster roll.

There’s something special about this little town. Rockport is the inspiration behind so many works of art that it’s no wonder Rockport is the physical embodiment of our ideas of life by the water.

As the tip of the Cape Ann peninsula, Rockport, MA, is in historic Essex County. It began as part of the nearby town of Gloucester, and together these areas got their start in the fishing business. Pine harvested from the vicinity was used for shipbuilding, and locally quarried granite (they didn’t call it “rock” port for nothing!) was shipped all up and down America’s east coast. It wasn’t until much later that tourism appeared on the local economy’s radar, but now that it has, there are plenty of dining, shopping, and cultural experiences for the sea-seeking explorer to enjoy.

Of course, Rockport’s main attraction is the ocean that surrounds it. Every turn showcases the great blue Atlantic from a different angle, and each breeze carries the refreshing, salty air characteristic only of oceanic proximity. Several beaches dot the Rockport coast, so be sure to dip your toes in the water at least once before going home. Or, take a moment to stand at the very end of Bearskin Neck to take it all in. After all, everyone needs a breath of ocean air once in a while.
