Located in Palacios on Texas Highway 35, Fishermans Memorial provides public access to Tres Palacios Bay and the surrounding shallow coastal waters of Matagorda County. This is one of three public boat ramps in the Palacios area, making it a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small boats exploring the bay system. The site features a boat ramp with a memorial to local fishing community members.
**What to Expect:** The ramp provides access to shallow bay waters suitable for paddling and fishing. Be aware that water depths can be shallow, particularly depending on tidal conditions and recent weather. Paddlers heading into Tres Palacios Bay and surrounding areas should plan accordingly for tidal fluctuations typical of this coastal bay environment. Alternative access options exist nearby, including the FM 521 bridge on the Tres Palacios River for those seeking river paddling opportunities.
