Rockport is a small seaport one hour north of Boston at the end of Route 128. (Take route 127 from Gloucester until you see our sign in Pigeon Cove) Most famous as an art colony, the town was a major granite shipper until the depression closed the quarries. Today, vacationers sunbathe on the rocks and beaches, take walks through the woods or along the shore, or watch the whales from boats out of Rockport or Gloucester. The Rockport Golf Club has a fine nine hole course about three miles from the Emerson, and there are tennis courts less than a mile from the inn.
A rebirth has occurred in the seacoast village of Rockport, Mass. Much like the coming of Spring, the Emerson Inn by the Sea is a refreshing change of atmosphere. Renovated under the stewardship of innkeepers and owners, Bruce and Michele Coates, the Inn displays the essence of the past, finely preserved in a distinctive New England setting.
Enjoy a peaceful night's rest, awakening to the warm welcome of an Atlantic Ocean sunrise. Delight in a host of gourmet specialties in the elegant setting of The Grand Cafe. ..... [ more
