Rockport is a scenic coastal town at the tip of Cape Ann in northeastern Massachusetts, about 40 miles north of Boston. Known for its picturesque harbor, art galleries, and the iconic red fishing shack called Motif Number 1, Rockport has long been a working fishing village and popular artist colony. The town's granite quarries once supplied stone for major landmarks including the Brooklyn Bridge, and today tourism and the arts play central roles in the local economy.
