Discover Doyle

The area stretches geographically from the freshwater of Lake Corpus Christi near Mathis to the saltwater bays of Portland, Ingleside and Aransas Pass. This means inland waters and bays sit side by side as distinct landscape features within the county.

Water and excursions in the wider travel area

San Patricio County offers access to the Texas State Aquarium, the Lexington and the beaches of Mustang Island and Padre Island. A day at the aquarium or the Lexington and a beach day offer different kinds of excursions. These destinations give your plans a broader scope if you’d like to combine different experiences during your trip.

In the wider regional area between Portland and Corpus Christi is Sunset Lake Park, a protected public park on the shores of Nueces Bay and Corpus Christi Bay.

Whether you choose to hike or bike, both activities follow the same described route through the marshes and wetlands.
