Bay City
|
Specializing in ecotourism, Bay City will appeal to everyone in the family. For starters, there’s fishing, kayaking, and canoeing in Matagorda and on the Colorado River. Matagorda County leads in the North American Audubon Society Bird Count, so be sure to bring your binoculars. For an outdoor excursion with a more educational bent, check out the guided nature tours. Learn about area history at the excavation of La Salle’s ship La Belle. Stay at one of the quaint bed-and-breakfasts in the area or perhaps a beach house right off the Gulf of Mexico.
