Back Beach is located on Beach Street in Rockport, Massachusetts. A huge rock seawall and natural rock wall encapsulates the small beach area. During low tide the right side of the beach (facing the ocean) is blanketed with larger rocks. The left side and middle of the beach have an open area of hard packed sand, which is perfect for relaxing on the beach. The gradual beach descent combined with the calm clear water (depending on the weather) makes entry into the water easy and popular with scuba divers. Pebbles and seaweed are visible in the water; high-tide can present difficulties as the beach does a disappearing act. For the Rockport area, Back Beach is a small beach with a big view.
