Food scene
We love this Mexican food restaurant! They have great margaritas in the enchiladas are the best anywhere in South Texas! Be sure and go early. They open at 5o’clock and that’s the perfect time to get there if you want to table right away!

They have awesome hamburgers, french fries and onion rings. We always split a cheeseburger because they are so big! We have been calling ahead and picking up.

For seafood, Trout Street is our favorite place. We love to sit outside and watch the boats come in and out of the port as we eat.

The Sandcastle Man
I highly recommend you contact Mark the Sandcastle man and book a lesson with him. In a two hour lesson he will teach you lots of great techniques for building Sandcastles. Have him meet you at marker 39 on the beach. This is at the end of our board walk in the neighborhood.361-290-0414
