The Center for Marine Resourcesand its principal activity, the Sea GrantProgram, of TexasA&M Universityare dedicated to improving knowledgeof marine-relatedactivities in Texas,for the benefitof the peopleof Texas.The Marine Advisory Services section, whose principal function is providinginformation throughbooks, pamphlets, meet- ingsand other public information activities, has sponsored a number of projects,in thiscase an arrangement with theCenter for AppliedGeo- sciencesof TexasA& M to produceinformational aids which fall within its areasof expertise. Manyhundreds of ownersof facilitieswere helpful in supplyinginfor- mationto BernardBrown during his collection of field data; this booklet would havebeen impossible to producewithout their graciouscoopera- tion. Several individuals on the Texas A&M campus provided assistance: MaryKutac, who did the manuscripttyping and was useful in many otherways during work on the booklet,should be recognizedand thanked. Dr. RobertBerg and the Office of UniversityResearch made available theservices of RogerMaynard who drafted all of the mapswith skill and patience. The authorsin particularwish to expresstheir appreciationfor the grantfrom the MarineAdvisory Services program of SeaGrant at TexasA&M Universitywhich madethe work possible.

Note: The information for this publicationwas collected during February,March, and April 1974. Facilities,prices, etc. mayhave changed since that time. Page TABLE OF CONTENTS

123 Appendix INTRODUCTION

Thisguide has been prepared asa publicservice, to assistanyone who is planninga recreationaltrip to theCentral Texas coast and needs to know aboutfacilities in thearea. Some 528 facilities are described in the pages which follow. Becauseof limits on funds and time the guide describes only the coastal areabetween, but excluding, Galveston and Rockport. No attempt was madeto listbusinesses in larger cities such as Freeport, Palacios, and PortLavaca, but mostof the remainingfacilities within about ten miles of the shorelineare described. All datawere collected in the field by BernardBrown, and most coastal facilities were located during his work.Certainly there have been some omissions, and we should appre- ciate having these called to our attention. Thedouble-page index map at the backof the bookshows the CentralTexas coast. On it areoutlined rectangles which show the areas coveredby the eleven larger-scale maps, each at thebeginning of its respectivesection of text. The content of the individualsections is organizedfirst in alphabetical order by facility: motels, launch ramps, marinas,etc., each with a locationalcode number. The locational code isshown on the detailed map and also is used to identifythe facility in thesecond sub-section inwhich all facilities are listed geographically and describedindetail. A fewfacilities not included on the detailed maps are locatedon the index maps by letters. Descriptions of these may be found in the Appendix section. For example, let's suppose you want to visit the Freeport area for fishing and swimming. Locate Freeport on the index map; note that it is included on the Surfside detail map. Using the Table of Contents find the Surfside section. In the first subsection under Surfside you can find a list of motels, fishing facilities, launch ramps, and beaches,each with a location code number. You can then learn more facts on each by check- ing the same code numbers in the second sub-section and also can locate the facilities by finding the location code numbers on the Surfside detail map. An extra copy of this recreational guide may be obtained by sending a check or money order for $2.00 to: Center for Marine Resources Texas A&M University College Station, Texas 77843 If you need or prefer more detailed maps than those in this booklet there are at least two excellent sources. A circular describing and giving prices of county road maps in Texas may be obtained from: Texas Highway Department Attn: File D-10 P.O. Box 5051, West Austin Station Austin, Texas 78763 Counties are covered by one or two maps, occasionally with supplements, and prices range from $.50 to $1.00 per sheet, depending on the scale. Even larger-scaledand more detailed maps may be obtained by writing for the "Index to Topographic Maps of Texas" which is supplied free from: Distribution Section United States Geological Survey Federal Center Denver, Colorado 80225 From the index map the locations of individual sheets may be identified. Most of the Texas coast is covered by sheetson a scaleof 1:24,000 inch = 2000feet!, at a costof $.75 per sheet.

A variety of additional materials on specific areasof the coast may be obtained by writing to Chambers of Commerce. The Chambers of the following cities supplied information to the authors, some of which has been incorporated into the Guide: Freeport Palacios Port Lavaca Port O' Connor Two hints to travellers might be useful: Except for gasoline purchases the use of credit cards is not recommended becausemany establishments will not accept them. Medical facilities are available only in the cities, and much of the Texas coast is miles from medical assistance. Taking a First Aid kit along in fishing or camping gear is thus a wise idea.

Historical Sites JAMAICA BEACH BURIAL SITE. In 1962 a Karankawa burial site was discovered in the West Galveston Area. The site has now been converted into an onsite museum located near J amaicaBeach. Karankawa Indians were the tribe encountered by the first explorers and settlers coming to the Texas coastal area. Reputedly fierce fighters and unapprecia- tive of white settlers, the Karankawas were finally defeated near present day Matagorda in the mid-19th century.

Historical Sites

FORT VELASCO. Founded in 1824 by Stephen F. Austin, this was one of the first Texas colonies. Already an active port in 1824, the fort was built by the Mexican government to protect its interests in the area. Fort Velasco was taken over by the settlers who lived there in 1832, one of the early actions in the move for independence from Mexico. Located north of present day Surfside, Fort Velasco is currently undergoing restoration.
