Beautiful spot to watch the sunset and do some fishing. Ensure you pack mosquito repellent and  sunscreen!

Great clean spot to watch dolphins, bathrooms nearby, and have a family picnic. Ensure you pack your mosquito repellent and sunscreen during this time

This is an awesome park. The play equipment is really and the main thing is supposed to be like a pirate ship. My daughter loved playing here. The park is located right on the water so it is neat to see the boats go by. This seems to be a popular fishing spot too. The best part is they have a tall lookout you can climb overlooking the water. We climbed up here and saw dolphins almost instantly! This is definitely a must visit.

One can go up to the observation deck and see dolphins as well as pelicans. We did this as well as the dolphin boat tour at Scarlett Lady. You see quite a few more on the tour, but if you're limited for time this is worth a quick stop.

This park was amazing! Dolphins playing in the canal at dawn and dusk. Fantastic playground for the kids. Tons of people fishing. Nearby bathrooms! Beautiful views! Covered picnic tables. We saw more dolphins here than we did on a previous dolphin tour.

Can you spot the dol-fin in this photo? ;)

After reading all the great reviews about this place, I had to find Roberts Point Park. This was really a lovely spot and one my boyfriend and I probably enjoyed the most. You can take the ferry to the other side which we did not do but instead came before sunset with the dogs, walked around and met some really lovely people that go there regularly. They told us that you could see the dolphins swimming and they will come up close enough by you...Sure enough they were swimming right along the edge where we were standing. My boyfriend saw one catch a fish. It was such a peaceful lovely moment to be amongst such beautiful creatures. I fell in love with Port A right there.

This place was amazing! You could see tons of dolphins jumping out right in front of you as well as sea turtles. We ended up fishing and found a spot amongst everyone else that were fishing . We caught multiple sheepshead and it was a great little spot!

This is a great park located right by the ferry landing on the Marina side. They have tons of picnic tables and at least 2 public restrooms. The park is visible as visitors ride the ferryboats from the mainland to Port Aransas on Mustang Island and folks may drive, bike, walk or take the free local trolley to the park from stops along a 1-hour loop that runs through Port Aransas. An observation tower overlooks the ship channel and provides an excellent spot for watching the dolphins as they bow-surf in front of the cargo ships and tankers that travel the channel. come to relax, read a book, fish or bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the view of the ferry boats (more interesting than you think) and the other boats. Very kid friendly - I mean it's a park but with a few extras. Great for Birthday Parties, etc. Plenty of parking.

Great play area for the kids, with a large covered pavilion to watch them play from to stay out of the sun. Bathrooms are nearby and clean.

Love this place. Where else can you just sit by the water and watch dolphins for hours up close. They also have great play areas for kids.

I thought it was time for another review of this park since the last one was from six years ago…read morefrom this writing. It also looks like there have been some recent additions since the last review. The park is located at a crosswalk next to an RV park on Avenue G. There is actually a lot to see here starting with a very long paved nature trail running through a nature preserve with observation areas and continues on by the ship channel. You will also find 3 ball diamonds, a large baseball field, a little league diamond, and a T-ball diamond complete with batting cages. Other amenities include a fenced in dog park, a community pool, a soccer field, basketball court, public bathrooms and a large children's play scape. On the property is also a frisbee golf course and skateboard park. You will also find five fenced in pickleball courts that look like they were just built yesterday. The pickle ball courts are open to the public at no cost. There are some covered picnic tables directly next to the pool and a couple of tables in the dog park. This is definitely one of the nicest community parks you will find anywhere.

Dedicated in 2002, Paradise Pond is a 2-acre habitat that provides an excellent example of public/private collaboration. A group of birders who won the Great Texas Birding Classic designated the prize money for the purchase of land located behind a local motel. Several donations of land, additional grants and other funding sources helped to complete the project that birders from across the country now enjoy. Paradise Pond is a stop on the spring migratory route for smaller warblers and other songbirds, while many feathered friends call the pond home all year long. The wheelchair accessible boardwalk and 3 observation decks provide easy access to get "up close and personal" with the birds under a mantle of trees. There is a sitting area at the entrance for watching butterflies, dragonflies and birds, along with information about the flowers and the butterflies that the flowers attract. Private donations of land, foundation funds and teamwork helped make Paradise Pond part of the Birding Trail of Texas. Visitors flock from across the country for a sitting here...and you should too!

We were in Port Aransas for 2 days in mid-April to look for migrating birds. The one place we went…read moreto several times was the Leonabelle Turnbull birding center. We visited both morning and afternoon, and found that the selection of birds was somewhat different each time. It also made sense, for photography purposes, to visit at different times because we found quite a few beautiful migrating birds in the mulberry and willow trees, and the lighting was best there in the afternoon. There are multiple areas for birding. The entry walk has some willow and mulberry trees where birds congregate. In spring, the mulberry provides fruit for the birds and is a favorite for migrating species. Past the entry there are boardwalk to view (mostly) water birds. There are a couple of covered observation decks as well, and these provide the only shade in the boardwalk area. If you're prone to getting bitten by mosquitoes, do use repellent before visiting. The parking area nearest the entry was being enlarged during our visits, so we ended up in the overflow parking area on the other side of the water treatment facility. This is a great place to see resident and migrating shore birds, as well as inland species during migration. We saw buntings, videos, tanagers, warblers, orioles, and other migrating species during our most recent visit... a feast for the eyes!

We got to see the Pink Flamingo last week. One of the best places to see shore/water birds. Away from the water nearer the parking lot, a water feature and trees for the migrants in fall and spring. even if you aren't into birds, it is still a beautiful place to visit. There is a resident alligator that is around sometimes. Bigger parking area coming soon.

Repaired and reopened! This island park consists of a…read moreboardwalk that makes its way out into a tidal flats marsh, and overlooks a bunch of swamp. There are lots of green, lush plants around and a few birds. Keep an eye out for the famous crane birds. You'll also probably see some gulls, terns and other birds- so keep your sandwich in check, or they'll eat it. This boardwalk was once rated the #1 boardwalk in Texas for birding by Texas Parks and Wildlife Magazine! It lacks some of its former glory after Hurricane Harvey, but they did put some of it back together so you can go out on the boardwalk. There were LOTS of mosquitoes when I went. Lots. The skies darkened with mosquitoes when I arrived. I didn't spend too long at this park, because I was losing so much blood to mosquito bites. The park is located across 361 from the Post Office. There's plenty of parking, I can't imagine that this park gets full very often. There are no restrooms or any other facilities. No picnic tables, playground or anything else. I wouldn't take a dog walking here, it might fall in the water or eat an endangered bird.

There was a lake/marsh like area teeming with birds including flocks of Black-necked Stilts, a Lesser Yellowlegs, a Willet, a pair of Blue-winged Teals, a Marbled Godwit, a Mottled Duck, a Tricolored Heron, and various egrets. Nice spot. Update: Came back the next day in the evening as opposed to the morning and saw lots of Laughing Gulls, seven or eight Willets, a Tricolored Heron, various egrets, a Marbled Godwit, a couple of female Pintails, lots of Black-necked Stilts, a Red Knot, and lots of Boat-tailed Grackles. This only backs up the fact that this place is great. And if you're having trouble navigating to this place, it's across from the post office.

Went fishing with my husband, 2 sons and extended family for an 8hr trip in June. Red snapper…read moreseason. Had a blast almost everyone was hooking snappers left and right. We went to 3 different spots. I wish we could have switched to try some sharks but I think they were waiting to max out on snappers and there were a few people not catching anything so we never did. Overall we had a super fun trip. We went back last weekend with my husband, son, and daughter. No one else had signed up for the 8hr trip so we got bumped to the 4hr. We were a little disappointed but I guess you can't control those types of things. Headed out about an hour. As soon as we dropped our lines me and my son's gf hooked bonnethead sharks! After that my hubby, and daughter caught one each. We hooked some bait fish and my hubby hooked a Mangrove Snapper. Only my son didn't catch anything. We all still really enjoyed ourselves! We can't wait to plan another trip! Both trips, all the guys were super nice and helpful. Sometimes you have to wait a bit if everyone's catching at the same time, but they try to get to you as fast as possible to unhook your fish and rehook your line if it snapped. Thanks for making both trips extremely enjoyable!!! We'll be back!

At each location the captain( overweight dude w long ponytail) kept drifting and couldn't stay on top of the fish which I believe resulted in us not catching very many fish. At one point as I was lying down in the passenger area as we were heading back I saw the captain run down into the men's restroom twice leaving no one in the wheelhouse as the boat was running! That's what a milk jug is for! Gonna try Fisherman's Wharf next time. As you can see in the video provided the fish was very slim pickings due to the captains inability to stay on top of the fish! He kept drifting!
