The Lighthouse Inn

Fulton, TX 78382

Another quite nice and quite snazzy new hotel... it's a bit more expensive than the Inn at Fulton Harbor, but it features a library and a lighthouse. Who knew? Not too much farther down the road and certainly within walking distance.

There are many other, quite Rockport-ian hotels near (though not quite walking distance as with the above hotels) the Paws and Taws for those who might want something different.

Sandra Bay Cottages
1801 Broadway
Rockport, TX 78382
(361) 729-6257

These nifty old-style cottages have just been renovated (tastefully so, we hear) and feature wonderfully bright and beach-ish colors.

Also available are a string of dingy (but cute) old hotels (the Sun-Tan Inn, Surf Court Motel, Surfside Motel, Sun Harbor, etc.) that Nick likes quite a bit. But these are probably more for looking at than sleeping in...

And finally, there is also a Holiday Inn Express in Rockport.
