Front Beach is a nice, beach on Sandy Bay, pointing toward the east. There is only street (metered) parking here, so you park someplace walk (not easy in Rockport) or have somebody drop you off. Or, if you’re really clever you can drive your car to the Park & Ride lot on Route 127 near the Rockport Information Booth, park and pay the ridiculously small fee, and ride the trolley to the beach. The beach is also within an easy walk from the Rockport village, and from many of the inns and hotels nearby. There are lifeguards in the high season and public bathrooms are nearby. Another nice thing is that it is near a number of restaurants, eateries and shops, so you can combine some beach time with browsing and dining.
