This is a free ferry that goes to Bolivar Peninsula and back every 15 minutes. You drive your car on or you can walk on if you don't care to explore Bolivar Peninsula. (more beaches) It's such fun to get a closer look at all the ocean liners and you may get lucky and see dolphins.

Beautiful bayside park in the marsh. See many birds as you hike on different length trails and go to the observation platforms. Anyone can fish in the state park without a license needed. Wonderful kayak trails. Kayaks are available to rent in Jamaica Beach and other spots.

I love to take guests here at sunset! Follow Seawall blvd. east until it ends at a parking lot. It is the remnants of a gun battery and a historical marker. A great place to watch the ships go by at the Far East end. You can also walk down the road leading to the East end beach. Many people fish off the bank here or go crabbing.

My favorite beach at the Far East end of the island. Pay to park but it is convenient and has snack bar facilities and toilets at the location. Horseback rides are available.

Birding locations

Laffite's cove is a residential area that has an excellent nature trail for birding or just for a stroll. Easy paved pathway by a pond with waterfowl and then a cool shady path through a wooded area popular for birdwatching in spring and fall especially.
