Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

For a wonderful coastal day out you can head to the Mustang Island State Park , located on a barrier island facing the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. The island boasts five miles of shoreline and offers an outstanding playground for water-sport enthusiasts. Families can enjoy simple beach activities like castle-building and swimming while more energetic visitors can surf, paddle and kayak. Along the western shore of the island you will find three paddling trails through shallow waters that will bring you up close to a variety of coastal wildlife – birding is excellent on the island. There are also hiking trails on the island and ranger programs are on offer.
