Lighthouse Beach & R.V. Park

We came here to relax! You can do that here but i think maybe a little slow for us! Not very many places to eat, nothing to really do other then fish!!! They do have one nice shower! Internet don’t make it to where we parked the rv. Not sure if I will come back! Now if you want to do nothing, nothing and that’s your ideal of fun come check the place out!!! We have a family of 7 kids range from 8 to 18 and the beach is nice the park is not bad but there’s nothing else to do at all!!!

This was SO cool fabulous palm tree showers, a calm beach for the kids complete with umbrellas and covered picnic tables, a splash pad, playground, fishing pier, boat ramp, rv spots and more LOVED it and such a value!!!

One of the best birding spots I have been in a long time. Boardwalk is an excellent way to see many species of birds. Saw several new species and many others, including: Laughing Gulls, Brown Pelicans, White Ibises, Great and Snowy Egrets, Rock Doves, a Sanderling, a Semipalmated Plover, an Osprey, a Tricolored and a Great Blue Heron, Least Sandpipers, and Great– and Boat-​tailed Grackles. Also saw a Crested Caracara flying overhead.

A beach with boardwalk, bird viewing, rv spaces, boat ramp, fishing pier, and picnic areas. Most common fish caught off the pier are black drum, speckled trout, red drum, and catfish.
The boardwalk is an excellent place to walk for enjoyment, to birdwatch, or to exercise.
Not too crowded unless it is a peak day in the summer. Overvall a good small town beach park area with above average amenities.

I grew up in Port Lavaca so I lived only 5 minutes away from this beach. It’s $ 3 a day and $ 12 annually. Not the best beach in the world. I mean, c’mon this is Texas where the sand is brown and the water is murky.
Not the best fishing spot, mostly catfish but I heard if you come during the day you can catch trout. It’s suggested to not eat from these waters since 3 chemical plants do surround the bay but I grew up just fine and no one has ever gotten sick.
Back then the boardwalk use to be all wood but it burned down so it’s been renovated. A lot of locals come here to go running after the sun sets. There’s also a big ‘bird house’ on the other side of the beach.
The beach itself has been cleaned up now. They even put in grass umbrella’s on the beach this past year and picnic tables.

If you are looking for a top notch beach, you are probably looking in the wrong place.
But as a self proclaimed ‘bird nerd’, this area is a nice place for birding. There is a nice boardwalk going through the marshes and a really nice gazebo overlooking the bird sanctuary. If you come during the right time of the year, I’m sure it’d be packed with all sort s of interesting birds.
If I lived closer, I’d be here more often to observe the birds :-D

good place to come for a swim, only about 200 yards of sand but next nearest beach is about 20 miles away. get here early if you want a cabana or picnic table to reserve because there are limited spots! big rv camping area, piers for fishing, volleyball nets, and swimming pool open to public.
cost is only $ 3 a day per car! or you can get an annual pass for $ 12 I believe. pretty good deal!
I wouldn’t say its a huge tourist spot most people we ran into were locals. go the extra 20 miles if you have the chance to magnolia beach, it’s 2 – 3 miles of beach and good shelling from what we’ve been told
not sure what camping prices are.
