Front Beach is a smaller beach ocated just up the road from good Harbor Beach. During high tide, the stretch of sandy beach becomes thin, but that just means you can spend more time in the water. There is floating dock that you can swim out to. Kids love it! There are aslo tide pools at low tide which are great for kids to go hunt for ea glass, shells, crabs and snails. There is an on-site bath house, and the bathrooms are clean.
There are plenty of inns and B&Bs located nearby to accommodate your beachside vacation.
Metered on-street parking on Beach Street is available adjacent to Front Beach, and long term parking is available in a privately operated lot across the street.
In season the CATA Park & Ride (Blue Gate Lane off of Route 127) provides free parking and a trolley shuttle ($1 per person) directly to downtown Rockport and Front Beach daily.
When you are finished with the beach, dry off and enjoy the number of restaurants and shops located nearby along Bearskin Neck. You can walk all the way out to the end to the rock pier for great views and refreshing breezes.
