Took a short drive from Surfside. Easy to find, easy free parking on a Monday.
Boat ramp and great area at office with picnic tables and restrooms.
I did not go into rv area.
Walked thru the covered pavilion, clean, spacious.
I took my wagon filled beach stuff down to the water. Path marked and easy to follow.
I found out too late that you cannot enter the water along the channel due to strong currents. I was going to launch my kayak from the beach and head into the paddle trail. I was told better to launch from the boat ramp.
I did not see any Park wardens.
I did go in up to my ankles to cool off, but heeded the warnings.
Beach and grounds super clean. Great view of San Luis Pass bridge. I was all by myself except for 3 fishermen down the beach.
Lots of birds, fish jumping and crabs. Signs warning about poisonous snakes but saw none.
On my way back, after about 7 hrs in the heat, I decided to take a different path back. It was more difficult to navigate with my wagon and park employee Jay saw me in the heat and came with the golf cart and helped me back to the car! So very nice of him.
He also showed me the interiors of the 2 cabins when I expressed interest.
One is for up to 5 people and the other for up to 12.
They looked well kept and are open year round.
Great amenities and will be back to rent a cabin.
