Laguna Madre Nature Trail

Great free boardwalk to see birds and wildlife. It has the same view as the paid birding center boardwalk next door. There are also clean public toilets at the start, plenty of parking, and a nice Wyland mural to look at.

Stunning sunset views. Very quiet and calm. Great for evening walks.

Nice boardwalk stroll, lots & lots of different species of birds. Loved the little palapa at the end of the boardwalk for some shelter from the sun. Took some good pictures & videos. We missed the Bird & Nature Center by a half hour (they closed at 5pm), but it was nice to catch this little nature trail and still see some cool birds :) 🦅🕊️🦆🦢

You can visit this place free of cost and enjoy a nice walking area with plenty of opportunities to see birds, reptiles, and a beautiful sea view. It’s also a great spot for fishing enthusiasts. Highly recommended for a relaxing and enjoyable outdoor experience!

This place is very deceiving. We went there under the assumption that we could walk along several wooden trails and watch wildlife and birds. Free of charge, you can only walk on the single wooden trail. You have access to 2 small ponds. Only one of them had several birds. If you want access to other wooden trails, you have to buy a ticket to their Bird center, which costs $12 pp. Walked around for 5 minutes and left. Nothing else to do there.

Entrance is by the convention center with plenty of parking. At the entrance is a small but nice park and restrooms. The walkways to the bay have informative signage and wide paths with railings. Some sections are covered and have seating for taking a break and watching wildlife. Overall a nice relaxing way to enjoy birds and wildlife of the island bay side.

FREE. Very interesting little wildlife boardwalk. Needs to a couple of different piers in the area. Nice view of the wetlands and bay. No fishing allowed, so don't even think about it. Pictures encouraged though. Don't forget to check out the Wyland murals on the way out. Outdoor bathrooms open and for public use.

Fantastic place to go birding. Had fun finding new birds to add to my ever growing bird list. Next door to South Padre Island Birding Nature Center and Alligator Sanctuary, yet so different. Free and a must see!
