Dolphin TIP! Go all the way to the end of Rockport Beach Park to the sea wall and walk out to see the native dolphins playing in the water. Recommend 30” before sunrise to catch a beautiful time of day

Who wants to miss a beach with actual waves while here! 18 miles of beach with plenty of room for sand castles and water play (the depth of the water is gradual, making it fun for kids or adults). Plus, lots of classic tourist beach shops nearby when you get too hot or hungry: ice cream, beach toys/suits, food, tattoos!

It's 20 miles from here, but if your skin has had enough sun, head over to the aquarium where your kids will love to touch stingrays and many other creatures in the touch pool. You will all love the dolphin and bird shows and the magical glowing floating jellyfish.

So, it's a fast food place. Fast is good when you are going for an half-price drink between 2 and 4pm, or needing(?) to cool off with a Sonic Blast or iced coffee. And it is within sight of the beach!
