City by the Sea – A Boater’s Haven on the Texas Coast

Tucked along a narrow peninsula between Aransas Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway, City by the Sea stands out as one of the most unique and desirable waterfront communities in the Rockport–Aransas Pass area. Designed with boaters in mind, this coastal enclave blends relaxed canal living with unmatched access to some of the best fishing and boating routes in Texas.

Where Waterfront Living Meets Convenience

Nearly every street in City by the Sea is lined with canal-front homes, creating an effortless lifestyle for residents who want their boat just a few steps from the back door. Spacious docks, quick water access, and sweeping coastal views are part of everyday life here.

From your own canal, you can be cruising open water in minutes — whether it’s a quick run to Redfish Bay, a scenic drift through the Lydia Ann Channel, or a day trip out toward the Gulf of Mexico.

A Boater’s Dream with True Coastal Charm

City by the Sea was built for those who value outdoor living. Imagine morning sunrises glistening across the canals, afternoons spent casting a line just beyond your back deck, and evenings savoring coastal breezes as boats idle softly by.

Residents enjoy:

• Deep-water canals ideal for powerboats, bay boats, and offshore vessels
• Direct access to Intracoastal waters
• Quick navigation to fishing hotspots like Estes Flats, Redfish Bay, and Aransas Bay
• A laid-back, friendly community atmosphere

Whether you're an avid angler, weekend cruiser, or simply love watching the water, this neighborhood is tailor-made for life on the coast.

Homes Designed for Waterfront Living

City by the Sea features an appealing mix of elevated homes, classic coastal designs, modern renovations, and larger luxury builds. Many properties include features that boating enthusiasts appreciate — oversized decks, outdoor kitchens, boat lifts, and expansive windows framing the water.

With a range of styles and price points, it’s a community that welcomes everyone who wants to live on saltwater time.

Conveniently Close, Yet Peacefully Set Apart

Although the neighborhood feels like a private coastal retreat, it remains close to everyday essentials. Rockport, Aransas Pass, and Port Aransas are all just minutes away, providing quick access to dining, shopping, festivals, and the vibrant Coastal Bend lifestyle.
