Things to Do in Rockport
Tourists love a trip to Bearskin Neck in Rockport where there's everything from art galleries and shops to views of Rockport Harbor. All of these places are in old fishermen shacks that have been converted. There are fantastic views out to the Atlantic Ocean at The Point, while at Pebble Beach you can walk along the sand and admire the sea. Alternatively, head to Front Beach, near to shops and restaurants. A famous spot for tourists is the Motif Number 1, a red fishing shack that is the most painted building in the world and something you could only find at the seaside.

What Expert Travelers Think
— My favorite thing about AllTheRooms is that it combines both rentals and hotels available so you can see an entire view of what is available in a certain area. I was able to see listings on AllTheRooms that I never even saw on other travel sites!
Daniella FloresILIKETODABBLE— I travel to Boston regularly and I like to use AllTheRooms as it’s tricky to find good accommodation at a good price. The platform is easy to use and provides a complete set of features that saves me time and money on every trip
Clwyd ProbertWhitehat— I love All the Rooms because instead of having to check one place for home rentals, another for hotel, another for bed and breakfasts, and yet another for a room rental in a private residence, I can finally see EVERYTHING at one site; saving me considerable time
