Bluff’s Landing is a laid-back seaside resort on the salty shores of the Laguna Madre. With a full-service marina, a 24-room hotel, and a selection of private lodges to rent, as well as watersports, fishing charters, and two unique dining experiences, it is the ideal escape for those looking for a relaxed adventure retreat. Home to numerous protected species, and one of only six hypersaline lagoons in the world, The Laguna Madre is one of the most overlooked natural wonders in North America.

Stop by the Texas Surf Museum, where they enlighten the world with the unique culture and history of Texas surfing, encourage the community to experience the fun, accessible and healthy lifestyle of surfing and related board sports, and educate everyone in proper conservation practices to protect and preserve the beaches, bays, and waterways of the Texas Gulf Coast. As the only surf museum in Coastal Bend, it is a must-see for anyone who has ever surfed and a delightful adventure for non-surfers. Relax on a bench made from surfboards, catch a surf film in the projection theater, and spot old buddies and young stars in the hundreds of photos scattered throughout the museum.

The Texas State Aquarium is a major tourist attraction on the Gulf Coast that receives more than 500,000 visitors per year and is a leading educational and rehabilitation center that primarily focuses on species from the Gulf of Mexico. Exhibits explore both creatures of the gulf and the natural habitat that supports them. Some sections of the Texas State Aquarium include Amazon, Dolphin Bay, Eagle Pass, and Floating Phantoms. In addition, they have touch tanks, up-close encounters with stingrays, and a super-sized children's play park.
