The Coastal Bend Lavaca Bay Around Area

With its scenic beaches and relaxed feel, all the charm of the Texas Gulf Coast can be found in Port Lavaca. Go beyond the sandy shores and you’ll discover Port Lavaca is full of surprises. Fascinating historical sites, a performing arts theater, and a variety of museums can be found in this Texas coastal retreat.   Bring the family and make a day of it at this lovely waterfront park. Kids will love the playground, splash pad, and sandbox. The park also has a shaded pavilion, boat ramp, lighted fishing pier, and covered picnic tables.    Many an angler has held up a photo-worthy fish for a snapshot on the pier of this Port Lavaca attraction. Grab a chair and try your luck at snagging redfish, trout, and flounder from the lighted and covered deck, or launch your boat for the jetties. With on-site cabins, RV hookups, restaurant with frequent specials and live music performances, and fishing licenses for sale, the Indianola Fishing Marina is a destination of its own.       The only natural shell beach on the coast, Magnolia Beach offers something for everybody: a public boat launch and fishing pier, restrooms and picnic tables, a playground, and a volleyball court. You can drive right up on the beach and the shallow water makes for good surfing or wade-fishing.
