Rockport is way out at the end... and other Rockport, MA Transportation Tips

'Mode': TO,AROUND
Category: Train
Getting TO/AROUND: Rockport is way out at the end of a long peninsula about 40 miles northeast of Boston; it's not close or convenient to anything. It's the last stop of the MBTA commuter rail from North Station in Boston, which is different from the 'T' system and runs much less frequently. The local CATA transit system is only helpful during tourist season, when shuttle buses and trolleys run during daylight hours only. Fortunately, two taxi companies offer 24 hour service, so don't worry about getting stranded.
It depends what part of town you're staying in. Rockport is a spread-out community. If you're at an inn in the Pigeon Cove section in the north part of town or at beachfront accommodations along Marmion Way to the south, you might not want to walk to downtown. See recommendations above.
