Rockport, Massachusetts is another of those places you have probably never heard of, which is exactly the kind of place that makes for an ideal New England getaway weekend. It’s a short,? scenic hour’s drive from Boston.

Rockport’s character is that of a cultural haven within a classic New England seaside village. Interesting, eh? Imagine a picturesque town on a harbor called Sandy Bay at the very tip of a peninsula (Cape Ann) and surrounded on 3 sides by the mighty Atlantic Ocean.
