The Sabal Palm Sanctuary is a nature reserve that sits on 557-acres and grows many sabal palms, edible heart-bearing palms. It’s one of the only locations in the Rio Grande Valley that bears these palms. Not only is it a sabal palm sanctuary, but a bird sanctuary as well, making it an ideal location for birdwatching. Also, the location showcases the ecology of the region including neighboring states and northern Mexico. There are five miles of nature trails in the sanctuary that take visitors through the palm groves, past an oxbow lake and a butterfly garden.
