Recommended Activities
The park is noted primarily for its white sandy beaches. Recreational activities include swimming, surfing, bird watching, shelling, beach combing, sun bathing, driving down island, camping and fishing. Our Bird Island Basin area on the Laguna Madre is one of the top spots in the nation for windsurfing because of its steady wind, warm water, and shallow depths. Bird Island also has a boat-launching ramp for fishermen. Personal water craft, such as jet skis and skidoos, are permitted in park waters south of the five mile marker on the Gulf side but they are not permitted in park waters on the Laguna Madre. However, they may be launched from the boat ramp at Bird Island Basin, if they are to be used outside of the park boundaries and are taken directly there. |
