I had never visited Rockport before, but a friend recommended this beach to me. And let me tell you, it lived up to the hype! The beach boasts charming little trees that offer shade, as well as picnic tables. It operates on a first-come, first-served basis, but luckily, people are constantly leaving, so you can usually snag a spot. It's always a good idea to bring an umbrella, just in case the sun decides to be relentless! Don't forget your sunscreen either. The water is pleasantly warm, and you can venture quite far before it gets deep. The sand in the water is soft and clean. It's a perfect spot for families, as it offers a friendly environment. I will definitely be coming back! The entrance fee is $10 for the day (with the option to go in and out) or $40 for the year. I absolutely adore this beach!

I really enjoy this small beach. It tends to get crowded during the summer weekends, but it's perfect for young children as the water is shallow and the waves are gentle. In the summertime, the water here can become pleasantly warm. If you're seeking some refreshment, you might want to consider the saltwater pool located at the beach's end or the community pool.

We spent two consecutive days at the free beach and had an amazing time! It's a fantastic beach for younger children as it has a shallow depth. We will definitely return!

The beach is truly fantastic for families. I would rate it 4.5 if I had the option! The water is shallow and there are plenty of sand bars. The parking is conveniently close and there is even a shack where you can get adult beverages. The only issue we had was with the women's showers. Out of the five showers, only one was functioning when we visited yesterday evening. It would have been great if they could fix that. It's really nice to have the option to rinse off before leaving. The entry fee is $10 or $40 for the whole year. However, they stop collecting fees after 7 pm on Fridays.

It's great to have the opportunity to admire the vast expanse of the sea. Although I appreciate the availability of tickets, what I truly enjoyed was the pristine environment. The breezy conditions were favorable, and I found the weather to be just right for a delightful excursion.
