San Antonio then to coast

We camped right on the shore at Goose Island State Park and thoroughly enjoyed it. We took day trips to Aransas National Wildlife Refuge (while the whooping cranes were there) and to the Rockport, Aransas Pass, Port Aransas area for fresh seafood right off the boat. The state park even has a long, lighted fishing pier into the lagoon, so you can walk to salt water fishing right from your campsite. We also got some great sunset photos of the bay and the barrier islands. We would highly recommend Goose Island for a long or short stay.
