Rockport, Texas

Rockport is a coastal community just north of Corpus Christi, TX. Large windswept live oaks are a dominating feature of the area and the state's oldest live oak, "Big Tree," resides on nearby Lamar Peninsula.

The city's beachfront park has won awards for "The Nation's Cleanest Beach" and the whole Aransas Bay beckons the sportsman, sailor and power boater with miles of uncrowded waters. All this info and more are located in the city's Tourist Center.

Sunday in Rockport, Texas

Sunday brought us calm winds and warm temperatures. We trekked through Fort Worth, TX and traveled 435 miles to Rockport, TX for a one night stay at the Ancient Oaks RV Park (nice place). We had planned to only travel 200 t0 250 miles each day, but we were anxious to be at the water’s edge on the Gulf of Mexico and it was a good day for a drive.
