East Bay Park

East Bay Park offers convenient access to Tres Palacios Bay, a calm, shallow inland bay ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters. Located in Palacios off Highway 35, this is one of three public boat ramps in the area, making it an accessible launch point for exploring the bay's protected waters. The shallow nature of Tres Palacios Bay makes it particularly suitable for paddlers and shallow-draft vessels.

This day-use facility is popular with anglers and wildlife observers, with opportunities to spot waterfowl such as ducks and occasional raptors like Ospreys. Given the calm water conditions, the bay is well-suited for beginners and families, though paddlers should be prepared for wind conditions when venturing across open water. The area supports diverse recreational activities, from paddling to fishing, making it a versatile access point for the Matagorda County coastal region.
