Gulf Coast - Rockport / Padre Island NS

Rockport, TX - our base camp to Padre Island National Seashore and this stretch of the Gulf Coast.  This is a vibrant, charming, and very visitor-friendly place. There's plenty to do and explore all up and down this section of the Intracoastal Waterway with every kind of boat you can think of, delicious seafood, abundant wildlife, lots of recreation opportunities, and as much history, culture, markets, and festivals as you want to find. This area is a mecca for 'Seasonal Texans' and outdoor enthusiasts of all sorts. Fond memories almost guarantee a future visit.
