Rockport, MA
We will take a scenic drive to the Town of Rockport (one of the oldest art colonies in America) to enjoy its New England seaside charm. Uniquely surrounded on three sides by the Atlantic Ocean, Rockport offers breathtaking coastal scenery along rocky and sandy shores. You will stroll along bustling, eclectic Bearskin Neck, with unique shops, restaurants and galleries, many housed in repurposed fishing shacks. Rockport is home to the iconic Motif No. 1, reputed to be the most photographed and painted buildings in the United States. Truly one of New England’s gems, it is a friendly, peaceful, small town unlike any other.
