The Coastal Bend's most popular visitor attraction invites you to travel an aquatic journey from the shore to the depths of the Gulf of Mexico. More than 3,000 animals representing more than 320 species are displayed in entertaining and educational exhibits. The mission of the Texas State Aquarium is to engage people with animals, inspire appreciation for our seas, and support wildlife conservation. Get up close and personal to Atlantic bottlenose dolphins in Dolphin Bay. Watch hawks, owls and falcons soar throughout the Hawn Wild Flight Theater. Visit the Island of Steel exhibit, where sharks and sea turtles live among schools of fish. Spend time in the Living Shores, where you can really get your hands wet! Watch as sea turtles gracefully glide through Tortuga Cay, while North American river otters play the day away in Otter Creek. Touch and feed stingrays in Stingray Lagoon, then cool off in the H-E-B Splash Park. Explore the intersection of science and technology in our Saving Sharks exhibit, a hands-on conservation focused experience focusing on research being done to help understand and conserve these apex predators, where you can even touch sharks. And enjoy our newest exhibit, Tentacles, full of fascinating jellies, cuttlefish, and octopus, where you can even safely touch moon jellies.

Great Art Center and there is a wonderful Farmer's Market held here every Wednesday night from 5-8p.
It's in a beautiful location right along the waterfront, during the warmer months you can enjoy the beautiful view.
You'll find local and organic products including fruit, vegetables, kombucha, meat, lotions, jewelry, cheese, popcorn, juices, jams, etc. They usually have music (local musician) and a food truck on site. Added bonus is that you can walk around the Art Center gallery and enjoy the artwork for free! I like to grab a kombucha from the serfer brew booth (guava hibiscus is my favorite) and walk around checking out the various stands (they often have have samples available).

A beautiful beach that stretches for miles. This is a vast area of beach with beautiful water and great access for swimming. You can drive your car right up to the beach in most areas. Even during peak season for tourists, there is still so much room where you are not crowded with other visitors. There are scattered covered picnic tables throughout this park which makes it a nice break from the bright Texas sun. Perfect for families.
