Studies perennially rank Rockport among the nation's cleanest beaches, but you can get down 'n' dirty at the many seafood shacks and shanty bars where returning fishermen tell tales of tackling Texas-sized tarpon. Key Allegro Marina bustles, especially during July's Rockport Offshore Challenge, and The Heritage downtown district offers upscale shopping and walking tours. The Rockport Center for the Arts, Texas Maritime Museum, and Victorian landmark Fulton Mansion detail the area's history. Natural wonders include The Big Tree (a 1,000-year-old coastal live oak that is one of the country's largest), and spotting whooping cranes and ruby-throated hummingbirds in the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge.
