Enjoyed my relaxing at Jim's Pier while Lutz was in the bay kayaking this beautiful Sunday morning…read more While Lutz kayaked, I viewed their store and then went next door to have a beer and some fried avocado. A variety of items offered to fishermen and fisher women. Why is it that fishermen is an accepted homonym and fisherwomen is auto corrected? Anyway, the store is similar to a general store as offers up sodas, chips, and other snacks as well as toys and clothing and more items for anyone who fishes. Taking a look around, I didn't see anything that I was needing or wanting at the moment, but it was nice to greeted as we walked in the place. Friendly service.

We booked our appt. Cost was $80.00 per person. We were thrilled! We arrived joked around with the guys who would be taking us out. We got into the boat that would take us out to the dock in the middle of the water, this is the only company who does this from a dock not the back of a boat. MUCH SMOTHER. We got all hooked up! My hubby went first, loved it, I was next never having done this IT WAS PERFECT about 500 feet in the air. The guys took great care of us. The owner of this company was the tow boat driver. Never felt unsafe, if I hada child who wished to do this I would use this company. Great service.

Isla Blanca Park $10 fee $2 for trash deposit. Save your receipt to enter beach access #6…read more Beach Access #5 is FREE. Has parking and you walk to the beach. Beach Access #6 is $10. This access allows you to drive on the beach. You must be aware of tide times not to get stuck. You can also camp there for free. No fee. But you camp at your own risk of course. It is currently being renovated so no bathroom facilities as of now. Theres another beach access with FREE access to drive on the beach. But, sand is very soft in that section and you may get stuck if you are not driving a truck high enough to not hit the sand underneath. Be safe, theres no reception out there at times and if no one helps you if your stuck. Price to get pulled out ranges up to 3k depending on difficulty. The further you drive keep in mind that ACCESS 6 and Andy bowie have the last restroom stops. Its a beautiful place. And, its been abused by litter so the $2 you pay for trash awareness is a SMALL price to spread the word of keeping the area clean. Plastics are being eaten by the flock of birds that make the beach majestic and is killing them day to day. Isla Blanca Park: This is the only State Park that has tent sites for camping. Beside KOA but they are private. There is over a mile of pristine beach along the Gulf of Mexico that offers an abundance of water-front recreational facilities. Beachfront facilities make the clear gulf waters accessible to all.  Isla Blanca Park offers two large beachfront pavilions with onsite food and beach rental concessions, ample parking, walking trail, jetties and surf fishing, a jetties bait stand, over 600 full hook-up R.V. sites, cabana rentals, tent sites, a boat ramp, numerous restroom/shower facilities and shaded picnic areas.  The park also offers a number of concessions that provide an array of recreational amenities.  Some of these amenities include an assortment of restaurants, bay and offshore fishing trips, water sports (e.g. snorkeling, diving, jet skis, parasailing, etc.) and a full service marina.

I was taken aback when the attendant told me $12 when we go to the Cameron County Parks and…read moreRecreation entrance. It was 7:55 pm on May 28, 2025, and we just wanted to look around, particularly at the Jesus statue. But no, we had to pay the full price! Scattered all across the loop we drove was litter. It was sad. Tons of RVs were at the campground. Several folks in single vehicles still enjoying the sunset. But those single day use areas weren't crowded by that point. Be very careful driving. I encountered many dog walkers who just didn't care or didn't know I was approaching, me in the right of way, but I digress. Also, watch out for kids just playing in the middle of the parking lot. Their parents oblivious to me trying to exit. That also happen... but there was a perfectly good beach area for them to play on just a few yards away. *sigh* Never again unless I am here much earlier in the day. I would never see myself camping here.

I had a very good experience with The Beach Service today. I called last minute to get a "setup"…read more(one umbrella and two chairs) and they sent someone out right away to get it done right in front of our condo. After I got there, a guy came out to tell me my receipt was in the bag attached to the chair. Later, my surrounding neighbors got loud and I couldn't relax (not The Beach Service's fault) so I called to ask them to move it and the guy (who was friendly) was there in 15 minutes to move it. I would've moved it myself except the umbrella is drilled about 1.5 feet into the sand. I'd use them again and recommend them to friends!

Was harassed by an EXTREMELY unfriendly girl from this company while I was sunbathing. She accused…read moreme of moving her umbrellas and beach chairs!! When I told her it wasn't me she insisted it had to be. Little did this obnoxious girl know that I gave someone a few bucks to put my umbrella up for me when we got to the beach early this morning.... that's right folks, when I vacation I REALLY vacation. Bottom line, this company seems to employ rude people. Wouldn't give them my money or business even if they had the only umbrellas/beach chairs in SPI. After taking a closer look, I must say whatever their price may be, unless it's free, is just not worth the old/rusty equipment they have to offer.
