View across Little Bay toward Rockport, TX. |
Rockport Beach |
It cost $5 to check out the beach, but we were told we could walk in for free. We chose to get some exercise and save the $5. |
We were glad we had not brought our little princess since no animals were allowed. |
We walked past the Rockport, TX sign/.bandstand. |
I spotted another Great Blue Heron standing next to Little Bay. |
I think it was sleeping until we walked by. |
They remind me of little old men for some reason. I just noticed he/she was standing on one leg or missing a leg. |
It turned out to be a beautiful day. It had been very gloomy the week we were in the Fulton/Rockport area, so it was nice to see blue skies that day |
The Rockport Beach sits between Little Bay and Aransas Bay. The Rockport Beach is on the Aransas Bay side. |
Beachfront Pavilion and restroom/shower buildings on the beach. |
Beach umbrellas and covered picnic tables on Rockport Beach. |
On the beach I spotted a bird that I had never seen. |
Black Skimmer No other bird has a lower mandible ( lower bill) larger than the upper. |
In a second it flew away. |
I was lucky to get the first shot, before it took off! |
After our beach walk, we drove over to the Rockport marina, which is just down the street from the beach |
The Aquarium is located next to the marina. |
I had read on a fellow traveler/blogger that the Aquarium was free, with donations accepted. |
As we approached the Aquarium, we realized that we had come on a day it was closed. |
Just up from the Aquarium is the Art Gallery. |
Myrtle Mayers, Thank you! It is nice that I can help others find out more about different areas of our beautiful country.
