Texas has great beaches for bird watching, boating, and fishing. Plus golf courses, cowboy and high art culture, and a rich history. Bask on the beach and bird watch between golf games before, during, or after spring break in Corpus Christi, Port Aransas, Crystal Beach, or South Padre Island. Explore East Texas from Dallas to Tyler, Texarkana, Jefferson, and Nacogdoches. Enjoy golf and big city life in Dallas or Houston. Visit Galveston's coastal Strand. Tour West Texas and Hill Country from San Antonio, New Braunfels, Austin, and Fredericksburg to Amarillo and El Paso.

What a nice stop for history buffs or those nearby who would like a little walk. I really enjoyed it! The visitor center is closed (of course...), but park folks are on site to provide guidance and literature. The layout is simple and convenient and the story is balanced and told very well. On a beautiful day, it is a peaceful walk from display to display as you learn not only about the battle that took place here and the political context, but the flora and fauna.
