This is a wonderful beach. It is kept up and clean. I have been here many times over the years. If you are a birder, you will enjoy it here. They have roped off nesting areas just for the birds. There are several places to swim without worry about sharks. I feel very safe going here by myself. There are... More

VERY clean beach, inexpensive for families ($5 for a day or $15 for a season pass). The water is very shallow for a ways out so no big waves to knock little ones over. There were jelly fish at our visit, but not the kind that sting. We actually had fun holding them. Great bathroom and changing rooms. Showers to... More

I live here in town and go to Rockport Beach several times a week. It has numerous playground set ups if you have kids. Covered picnic tables, BBQ stands, showers and public restrooms. Great snow cone trailer is often there on the nice days. Beach is shallow on the south side which is perfect for the younger kids. Salt Water... More

Pier burned a few years back and was never repaired but still nice and long. Park is calm enough to sleep without being bothered. Clean beach and good lighting at night. I go several times a year. Fishing has been better in the past, my dad says it's construction, hope it gets better.

We love this beach. It's small and has mild waves. You can wade really far out (it's shallow) and we feel safe letting our kids play on their own in the water. Port Aransas is much rougher and we worry about our kids getting swept away but not here. The public showers could use some updating but other than that... More

Rather a small beach, but it was clean and quiet - just perfect for a relaxing day or two by the water. Can't beat the yearly fee either - $15!!!
