This is a very small (3 1/2 acres) site maintained by the University of Texas Marine Science Institute across the street (park in the lot by the Institute on the other side of the street’. This is built in marsh area and has several short boardwalks accompanied with nice natural landscaping. There are several informative signs that are very helpful explaining oyster beds and the ecological significance of marshes. It is an outstanding location for bird watching. Just a very short walk to the jetty by the ship channel.

We are a family friendly fishing pier. We offer rod rentals, bait, cold drinks, sno cones, wine, cold beer, margaritas, snacks, pizza, hot dogs, gifts, and lots of fun. In addition to having a pier for fishing, we also have an observation deck for those who dont want to fish, but want to sit above the water and enjoy the cool breeze of the Gulf of Mexico.

I took my kiddos here a few times throughout the week. We loved just being able to purchase some snacks and watch fishing and the sunset from the top deck. It was great! Highly recommend!

We have everything you need for a great fishing experience. You will find a complete tackle and bait shop, snack bar, clean restrooms, plenty of secure paved parking and a first class restaurant all in one place!

This location is stunning, right on the gulf and the bay. The pier is huge, you can fish off the pier or rent a boat. You can rent fishing poles and anything else you may need. The view of the bridge to South Padre Island is stunning. There are a ton of cute shops, restaurants, and ice cream parlor and more. You could spend an entire day here!

We’re visiting SPI for our honeymoon and decided to go check out the fishing pier. It’s free to walk and view. Wasn’t busy or crowded, was very clean. Quite a few people were fishing and we even seen a few dolphins come up close. Definitely recommend taking a walk down this pier. ♥️

Spend an hour or several at the pier. There are fishermen, sightseers, couples holding hands, birds, etc. and of course just watch the waves roll into the beach.

Fishing pier is great, make sure you have a drop net and some sturdy rods and tackle. I’ve fished there every time we go and never fail to catch something, from sharks to sand trout. Caught a 32” bull red last time.

Dad is 80yr old the the deck crew was the best dad fell down because he has no sea legs a crew member jump into action to help him up before I could even get to him I believe his name was Daniel Like I said what a crew fishing lines got mixed up and the team got them undone in rapid time if you want a deep sea fishing trip this is the boat for your family to have memorys to last a lifetime now my 7 year old grandson can say I remember I went deep sea fishing with grandpa and great grandpa and caught a shark thank you for our family day of 2021
