May 4, 2014: We crossed into Texas Sunday morning. We stopped at the Texas visitor center, located in a wetlands. We were able to observe the wetland inhabitants from a wooden trail. There were many snakes, an alligator, and huge, magnificent dragonflies.
We drove over a bridge to the island where we camped on the beach. The philosophy of the park is to return the beach to its natural habitat. We were informed there was seaweed (not edible) on the beach. While there we walked on the beach and explored other beaches on the island. It was warm with a cool breeze off the gulf waters. The area was rich with birds, especially pelicans. We enjoyed watching the flocks soar overhead and dive for fish.
