The first 200 yards is a paved walkway. To get beyond that point, you must climb over the granite rocks. There is a small boat cut about one mile from shore. You can usually catch a good mess of crabs and most of the year the fishing is good. Bait and refreshments are available.
Children can play on the nearby beaches.
How to clean a crab Take a Ferryboat Ride Drive to the tip of Bolivar at the ferry landing and leave your car in the parking lot. Board the ferry for a ride across Galveston Bay. Bring a loaf of bread or a package of crackers, and maybe some binoculars. When you are underway go the rear of the boat and feed the hungry seagulls. The children will delight in watching the gulls dive for food.
