Sand, Sun and Adventure at Matagorda Bay Nature Park, Texas
A special place awaits you where the lower Colorado River meets the Gulf of Mexico. Matagorda Bay Nature Park, Texas, is a great place to relax at the beach and explore hundreds of acres of coastal marshes and dunes. It is also one of the best birding sites in the nation.
The 1,600-acre park is a unique, environmentally significant property being carefully preserved and developed by LCRA, a conservation and reclamation district created by the Texas Legislature.
What's there to see and do? Play in the warm waters of the gulf, hunt seashells along 22 miles of beach, go fishing, or visit the natural science center. Three piers extend over the river channel and a fourth pier extends over the Gulf of Mexico.
Tent camping is allowed on the beach and an RV park is on the river channel.
My friend Bob and I spent the weekend tent camping on the beach between the river channel and the ocean. Yes, beach driving is allowed with a permit. However, please be aware that the sand can be soft. My 4-wheel drive SUV did fine; however I saw several cars and trucks get stuck in the soft sand.
Sit back, relax and enjoy the weekend.

La Belle | Bullock Texas State History Museum
In 1686, the French ship La Belle wrecked in a storm and sank in Matagorda Bay. In 1995, archaeologists located the 17th century ship and began a decades-long and often unprecedented process of excavating, recovering, and conserving the ship's hull, along with more than 1.6 million artifacts.
The Bullock Texas State History Museum's exhibition Becoming Texas is a hands-on, immersive environment that uncovers Texas history with contemporary research on the state's past. The exhibition at the Bullock Museum in Austin, Texas, is a one-of-a-kind journey through more than 16,000 years of Texas history that documents the rise and fall of nations leading up to Mexican Independence in 1821.
