A Relaxing Trip Near Boston! Rockport Half-Day
I arrived at the famous Roy Moore Lobster Company. As the signature lobster restaurant in the town, I definitely had to check it out! I ordered the classic boiled lobster. When it was served, its bright red shell was very tempting. The lobster meat was indeed fresh and firm, and you could taste the sweet freshness of the sea with one biteď˝However, to be honest, maybe my expectations were too high. I felt it was "neither good nor bad"âjust a standard boiled lobster, no particularly amazing highlights. But if youâre visiting for the first time, itâs still good to try it for the experience. After all, the ritual sense of eating freshly steamed lobster by the sea is fullď˝đŚ After eating lobster, of course, I needed some dessert to refresh my palate! I went to the popular The Ice Cream Store in the town and chose the classic vanilla and chocolate swirl. The ice cream was smooth in texture, but the taste was quite ordinaryâno particularly outstanding highlights. Itâs the kind of "safe but not memorable" option. Itâs okay to have a bite to cool down in summer, but thereâs no need to queue up specially for itď˝đŚ But I found a treasure while shopping! How awesome is Rusty and Ingrid Screen Prints, this hand-printed shop! The store is filled with hand-printed posters, T-shirts, and canvas bags by the owner. The patterns are mostly Rockportâs sea views, lobsters, and colorful small houses, full of the unique charm of the townď˝Each piece has a great design and excellent texture. In the end, I couldnât help but buy a canvas bag printed with the townâs scenery as a souvenir. Itâs both practical and meaningful, and I regret not buying more as gifts!đď¸ After browsing the commercial street, donât forget to visit Captain Hedge Ocean View! Itâs at the end of the commercial street and is the "signature scenic spot" of Rockportď˝Standing here, the view is extremely broad. You can see the endless sea, and distant boats glide slowly across the water. The sound of waves hitting the shore is clear. On sunny days, the sun shines on the sea, glistening like a layer of crushed diamonds. Taking a random photo is a "healing sea view blockbuster." Standing here and feeling the sea breeze for a while, it feels like all troubles are blown awayď˝â¨ If you like quiet natural scenery, Mill Pond Park is a must-visit! Itâs like the "small back garden" of the town, with lush vegetation, dense trees, a small pond, and a wooden boardwalk. Walking inside is very quiet and peacefulď˝Occasionally, you can see local people taking their children for a walk and feeding ducks here. The atmosphere is very warm. When youâre tired, sit on a bench and rest, listening to the birdsong and the rustling of leaves, enjoying the slow timeâitâs super comfortableď˝đż Finally, I went to Front Beach, a small beachđď¸ with fine and soft sand. Although itâs not large, there arenât many people, making it perfect for walking barefoot on the sand and playing in the waterď˝There are benches by the beach where you can sit and daze at the sea. In the evening, you can also see the sunset shining on the sea, which is extremely beautiful! If you bring kids, this is definitely their paradiseâthey can play with sand and collect seashells for an afternoonď˝ Before I knew it, 2-3 hours had passed, and I had visited all the key attractions of the town. Although the time was short, I gained full of happiness and healing vibesď˝If you want to take a short break on weekends, the half-day tour of Rockport is really suitable. Itâs relaxed and comfortable, and you can leave with full of coastal memories!đŤ #BostonLife #BostonTravel
