About

Sea Rim State Park encompasses a unique coastal ecosystem at the far southeast corner of Texas, where the Gulf of Mexico meets expansive marshlands. The park protects nearly 2 miles of Gulf shoreline and over 4,000 acres of coastal marsh habitat, providing critical wintering grounds for waterfowl and home to American alligators. The park offers two distinct camping experiences. The Piping Plover loop features 15 improved campsites with electric and water hookups, located near the beach access and dune boardwalk. For those seeking a more primitive experience, the West Beach area provides 75 drive-up beach camping sites available on a first-come, first-served basis, with options for equestrian camping. The park also features a floating primitive campsite accessible by shallow-draft boat, though it is currently closed for repairs. Activities include fishing in the surf or marsh areas, paddling through the marsh on trails ranging from 1.79 to 9.59 miles, walking the Gambusia Nature Trail Boardwalk, horseback riding on the Middle Beach, and beachcombing. The park provides boat ramps, kayak rentals, and loaner fishing gear. Mosquitoes are present year-round due to the marshland environment, and alligators inhabit the park. Primitive beach camping sites may close temporarily due to extreme high tides or weather events.
