 It's been called one of the best kept secrets in Texas, a land full of tropical sunsets and swaying palm trees, where dolphins play along the shoreline and migratory birds from across the continent spend their holidays playing in the mild climates and rich wetlands of the lower coast.
 Wildlife and marine life are two other reasons so many are choosing the Texas lower coast as a refuge each winter. From dolphin trips to birding excursions, there's an abundance of things to see and do. And if you happen to enjoy salt water fishing, you won't find it any better than the opportunities offered in the warm gulf waters of the lower Texas coast.
Add to that a rich cultural heritage and a colorful history, and the area is ideal whether for a week excursion, a winter season, or year-round residency.
 The principal city of Corpus Christi is a hub of commerce and culture offering all the usual amenities expected from a medium-size community, and smaller coastal towns with names like Port Aransas, Port Mansfield, Port Lavaca, Rockport/Fulton, provide the best in rural offerings with a coastal twist.
If birding is one of your passions, the Coastal Bend offers a diverse choice of bird watching opportunities, from solo walks through the Aransas Wildlife Refuge to charter boat services to view the annual migration of North America's last whooping crane populations.
Long a favorite with Winter Texans are the communities of Rockport and Fulton, offering coastal charm and abundant RV facilities for travelers and seasonal residents. The communities are also noted for their outstanding fishing and offer nature and fishing enthusiasts plenty to do through tour and charter services.
 And if you enjoy good seafood, the Coastal Bend is noted for their fine regional cuisine with a number of restaurants that cater specifically to the Winter Texan crowd.
Explore all that the Texas Coastal Bend has to offer and connect to the resources you need the most to review the region and what it has to offer. There's plenty to see and do, and plenty of room at the inn.

By vacationing in Texas during the "off season," you can take advantage
of better prices without compromising the quality of your experience or
accommodations. Timeshare rentals often cost hundreds less than
renting hotel rooms and also offer additional space and amenities.
Along the Gulf Coast - where temperatures rarely drop below 50 degrees
in the winter- Galveston timeshare is a great choice because of
the wide array of activities the town has to offer. Tour Galveston's
1,500 restored historic homes, or visit Moody Garden's Aquarium Pyramid,
home to 8,000 species of tropical fish.
