Rockport/Manchester- by-the-Sea, Massachusetts

Come with me on an early morning Stroll through Rockport, MA and then we will take a drive through Manchester-by-the-Sea. Two of my favorite Massachusetts Towns. If you ever get the chance to visit, I would recommend both of these Towns. #newengland #rockport #massachusetts #quaint #nautical #seaside #capeann

Rockport 💙. For my 60th birthday, back in 2018, I treated myself to a 3 day getaway in Rockport. Drove all the way down from Quebec Canada. Stayed at the Bearskin Neck Motor Lodge and had a seafront balcony. What a wonderful week-end it was. Only thing I wish I knew ahead of time is that Rockport is a dry town. The miles and miles I have walked that week-end to explore every little nook and cranny 🥰

[@mynewenglandstory]

On my Suzie, that sounds like a great way to spend your 60th!

[@JulesG-xu2vw]

I agree with you, Carla---this place evokes relaxation, appreciation of beauty and it is gorgeous!!!!

[@christinehorne1840]

Love seeing Rockport! I grew up in Beverly and we used to go to the shops all the time. I’m in NH now but I loved growing up in MA.

[@mynewenglandstory]

I'm in NH too but so happy to be so close to Mass......definitely a shorter trip than I had from MI. lol. Have a great week Christine

[@justineclark5431]

I love Rockport too, Carla! We go in the Fall, and your video makes me want to now! I love to shop there, and eat lunch by the water.

[@lianeabeyta4515]

A peaceful respite with my morning coffee, way out here in California!!! Thank you so much. Have a happy day!

[@donnaerickson613]

I am here in California, as well, missing New England

I lived in Massachusetts in the early 80's. Went up to Rockport with my family when they came to visit. My mom loved it there and in Boothbay harbor. She was deathly afraid of the ocean, but she could sit for hours and watch it. I miss her and my dad every day. Wish I could be at the ocean again with them.

[@mynewenglandstory]

Oh, what a wonderful memory. I certainly can relate on missing our loved ones. I agree that the Ocean is very cathartic.

[@SCCL1000]

Hello, Carla. this is where I grew up and lived until my 30's. Family is still there, so I was happy to take this little trip with you. It's a special area.

[@mynewenglandstory]

Oh, lucky you! Rockport is definitely on my list of favorite New England Towns.....definitely a special place.

[@judyschojan3877]

I love traveling with you, thanks

[@mynewenglandstory]

Thank you Judy!

Hi Carla (or Karla? not sure), as a fellow Michigander who's lived in MA for nearly 30 years, there's nothing better than a tour of Rockport than one done with a Michigan accent! (I moved back to MI 7 years go and I miss MA very much, so I REALLY appreciate your vids and am so happy for your new life in NE.) Btw, Halibut State Park in Rockport is an incredibly beautiful place with spectacular views of the water. Sometimes you can see seals on the rocks. I learned MA through bicycle trips using Howard Stone's books - a great way to explore the area, whether by bike or car. Can highly recommend!

[@mynewenglandstory]

Thank you so much for that recommendation Cici. I definitely get comments on my MI accent all the time! LOL. I was born and raised a Michigander, so my accent comes naturally. Thank you so much for watching Cici!

[@skg3305]

[@mynewenglandstory]

Thank you very much!

[@betsyhills7845]

Thank you for this wonderful New England tour!

[@cynthiasirois8295]

That is such a nice section of Massachusetts to explore! There’s nothing nicer than a little shopping, some beautiful homes, and the Bonny blue ocean! Thanks for taking us along on your adventures!🌷

[@mynewenglandstory]

Have a wonderful week Cynthia!

[@stacysatterfield2154]

We went to Rockport, MA years ago on Bearskin Landing. And we spent many vacations on the Southern coast of Maine also. When we were in Rockport we stay 2 years in a row at a very quaint B/B at Blue Rocks Gorgious video love Coastal New England. It was always my dream to be a published author and live in Kennebunkport. But never came to life.

[@mynewenglandstory]

What a beautiful dream, I love Kennebunkport too.

[@J-J833]

I wanna go to Salem Massachusetts and Boston and provincetown. Also rockport Massachusetts too. I feel drawn there for reason and I have no idea why. I never been but when I think about it. I feel like breath of fresh air lol. Is that crazy? Also thank you for showing this cause looks so beautiful

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

How lovely! I haven’t visited this area it was so nice to take this drive with you-Thank You 😊

[@franzone70]

What a peaceful and beautiful armchair vacation you provided for us. Mass. is on my bucket list. thanks for the trip!

[@carolwarmoth8744]

Lovely tour! I have many childhood memories of visiting Rockport while on vacation to Manchester by the sea where grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins all lived. Singing Beach, Tucks Point, we spent a lot of time there. Even though most of my life has been spent in Michigan my heart will always yearn for Manchester and the sea air ❤️

[@patriciadye977]

Beautiful. Thank you for the tour.

[@cheryl7198]

Such a beautiful video! Thank you for sharing! 😊

[@barbarasimmons7637]

So beautiful! I was there many years ago! Thank you so much for the video that brings me happy memories!

[@genehorton8089]

Do the little boats take folks out to there tied up boats. Such beautiful scenery. Cindy in NC

[@mynewenglandstory]

I'm not sure. I wish I owned a boat to find out though! lol

[@dorisleary7231]

This is one of my favorite places. Something magical about being by the sea. 2 more weeks until I go home, this video made me so excited! finally going to get my Lobster roll.

[@annemariedelaney5295]

Sunday is usually a peaceful day and now I ask myself " I wonder if Carla will be sharing one of her very pleasant videos ", and oh yes, today's video is so tranquil, with the beautiful tour of Manchester by the sea, seeing Rockpori was certainly quaint. Thank you Carla for sharing, hope you have a peaceful week ☮🇺🇸🌅 Blessings

[@mynewenglandstory]

You too Annemarie

[@nancymartz9074]

Love this. So quaint and beautiful. I think I saw some for sale signs, one can dream can't they? How do people get to their boats when they're anchored out in the water so far from shore? Thank you for sharing this tour.

[@mynewenglandstory]

Yes you did see some for sale signs.....one (at the beginning) was an adorable little Ice Cream Shop.

[@jean2927]

What a lovely tour Carla, such pretty houses & gorgeous colours. Sometimes Carla I feel it’s a pity that there are so many electricity cables around, why is that do you know? I guess America is such a vast country compared to England, I keep forgetting that. Anyway it was very relaxing to watch what is going on over the pond. Many thanks, & kind regards…😁

[@mynewenglandstory]

Thank you Jean. I know what you mean about the electric wires....I really notice them when I am trying to take pictures/videos and there's nothing I can do....they interfere with the pictures for sure. Have a wonderful week Jean!
