The well-maintained beauty of this unique Texas beach wouldn’t be possible without the efforts and determination of the Clean Beaches Coalition (CBC). They’re committed to… “promoting clean, healthy and well-managed beaches around the world.”

The waters along Little Bay, Saltwater Pavilion, North Rockort Beach, and South Rockport Beach are tested for bacteria at least twice a week. Such dedication makes this beach a sought-after destination for those long walks on the sand, or it can serve as the perfect wedding location. Three acres of pure beach beauty welcome you to create lasting memories. Locals and guests alike are invited to multiple festivals throughout the year as well.
