Holiday Beach, TX

Set along the eastern shore of Copano Bay on Highway 35, Holiday Beach is a quiet coastal neighborhood about 15 minutes north of Rockport. Developed in the 1960s as a waterfront community, the area features a mix of canal-front stilt homes, weekend cabins, and spacious lots. Daily life centers on the water, with locals taking advantage of community boat ramps, private fishing piers, and calm bay waters ideal for kayaking.

Because it sits directly on the bay, living here means staying mindful of coastal weather and hurricane season, which is why many homes are built on pilings. For major shopping, dining, and healthcare, residents make the easy drive down the highway into Rockport and Fulton, while families are served by the Rockport-Fulton school district. It is a laid-back spot best suited for retirees, avid anglers, and anyone looking for peaceful waterfront living.
