Family fun comes easily here. Enjoy lazy afternoons in the sun, building sandcastles on the beach or hunting for treasures from seashells and driftwood to ancient Spanish coins. You can take things up a notch by taking to the waters on a kayaking tour or bust your best moves on a board in the swell around the river mouth and out on Matagorda Bay. If you like to fish, trout and redfish can be caught direct from the beach, although plentiful fishing charters into the Gulf means that there’s no excuse not to aim a little bigger. Cook what you catch in the comfort of your Matagorda vacation rental.

The Matagorda Bay area, which encompasses part of the Gulf of Mexico, plays host to an array of wildlife, many of which can be viewed at the Matagorda Bay Nature Park. Hunting for waterfowl, feral hogs, and alligators is permitted on scheduled hunt days and kayak excursions are available throughout the summer. If watching wildlife is on your agenda, the Mad Island-Oyster Lake conservation area on the Bay’s eastern shore rewards visitors with the chance to view over 300 species of birds. Still more adventure awaits, seemingly around every corner, along more than 50 miles of unblemished coastline, and hundreds of secluded bayous and creeks.
