The Charm of the Texas CoastSurrounded by the sparkling waters of Copano and Aransas Bays and bathed year-round by soothing Gulf breezes, nestled among ancient, windswept oaks and steeped in a colorful community of cultures, Rockport-Fulton is in a class of its own. Rockport and Fulton offer some of the best fishing on the coast, birding opportunities, art galleries, shopping and enjoying the beautiful “Blue Wave” beach. Vacation time is a year round affair.
Artists Galore
The towns of Rockport and Fulton offer a special charm, the kind of charm that has led many prominent artists to make this area their home. Named one of the top 10 Coastal Artist Communities in the U.S., the area boasts one of the best collections of art galleries anywhere.
Birding
Over 75 different bird species can be spotted in the marshes and along the sandy beaches throughout the year. The Whooping Crane is an endangered species and the nearby Aransas National Wildlife Refuge is their winter home. Don’t miss the Hummer/Bird Celebration held the second weekend in September.
