Nieces and nephews want to go, but their Spring Break falls on the same weekend as most major universites (UT, A&M, etc.).
Anyone with any experience there??

It picks up a bit but not really all that bad. It is more a fishing town than a young partiers town. PA is a whole different story since they are on the Gulf beach.

If they are wanting the party/beach atmosphere but you want to stay in Rockport, then PA really isn't that far of a drive (15-20 min?) to go check it out...but sometimes the ferry wait can get a bit long especially spring break and summer.

Yep, PA is the place to party. Nothing but old retired farts in Rockport.
Right Tombo?
