Rockport

The coastal terrain around Rockport is shaped by granite headlands, small coves and the Atlantic Ocean, which have influenced both the town’s compact waterfront and its long quarrying and fishing economy. On the northeastern tip of Cape Ann, Rockport faces Sandy Bay and retains a working-harbor character alongside galleries and independent shops. Bearskin Neck, the narrow waterfront district, leads toward Motif No. 1, the red fishing shack that has become a familiar emblem of the town. Former granite quarries at nearby Halibut Point State Park add another layer to the coastline’s industrial past.
