The area is teeming with a variety of fish, including redfish, trout, and flounder. And if you’re lucky enough to catch something, many local restaurants will cook up your fresh catch for you!

This peaceful sanctuary is home to a wide variety of bird species, and you’ll have the chance to spot everything from herons and egrets to pelicans and ospreys. The boardwalk offers stunning views of the wetlands, and the observation tower provides a great vantage point for spotting wildlife.
If you’re up for a little adventure, head to Mustang Island State Park for hiking, swimming, and wildlife watching. The park features miles of pristine shoreline, perfect for beachcombing, picnicking, or simply taking in the beauty of the natural surroundings.
