Rockport - Boston’s Perfect Coastal Escape 🌊🦞

When Hammond Castle plans fail, this postcard-perfect fishing town saves the day with lobster shacks, $1 parking, and enough ocean views to almost forgive your tardy friends. ✨ Why It’s a Day-Trip Win ✨ • Roy Moore Lobster: 3 for $50 (skip the questionable ones) 🦞❓ • Helmut’s Strudel: Flaky pastries that almost rival the views 🥐 • Bearskin Neck: Candy-colored houses + salt air = instant joy 🏡 🚗 Logistics: • 1hr from Boston (blame the girl math delays) ⏳ • Parking steals: $1/hour (we sobbed with gratitude) 💸 • No crowds: Even on weekends (shhh) 🤫 ⚠️ Reality Checks: • Lobster luck: Some are iffy (trust your nose) 👃 • Early closures: Most shops shut by 6PM 🕕 • Beach bonus: Wingaersheek is worth the extra drive 🏖️ 📸 Photo Ops: 1. Motif No.1: That red fishing shack you’ve seen online 🎣 2. Dock selfies: With lobster traps as props 🦞📱 3. Sunset rocks: At Halibut Point State Park 🌅 #RockportMA #BostonDayTrip #LobsterLunch #CoastalVibes #NewEnglandCharm #SmallTownMagic #CheapParking #OceanViews #SeasideWander #NoAgendaNeeded
