Located in Corpus Christi on the shores of Laguna Madre, this access site provides paddlers and boaters with launch facilities into the protected waters of Padre Island Seashore. The ramp accommodates most boat types and is suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. A paved parking lot is available for visitors. This location offers excellent opportunities for kayaking, fishing, birding, and windsurfing in the calm lagoon waters.
**Practical Information:** A day-use fee of $5.00 applies (or $10.00/year pass available; discounted rates for Golden Age and Golden Access Pass holders). The Laguna Madre provides sheltered paddling conditions compared to open Gulf waters, making it ideal for recreational kayaking and canoeing.
