On the western end of Bolivar Peninsula close to the ferry
landing is Old Fort Travis. Some of the old concrete bunkers still remain.
There is excellent fishing along the rocky shore and picnic areas are
available with benches and cooking facilities. Wide grassy areas are
invitations to relax and watch the ships in the Bolivar Roads on the
way to or from Houston. After a lovely day, watch the sun set over the
Gulf. There are cabanas to rent for the night and also camping sites.
Cabanas are $20 per night and the camping sites are $15 per night. Restroom
facilities are nearby.
