Adventure Out to the Port Mansfield Jetties
Driving to the Port Mansfield Jetties from South Padre Island is an off-road adventure like no other around here. This journey takes you along the remote, undeveloped coastline, where you’ll need a 4×4-equipped vehicle to navigate the soft sand and rugged terrain.
The Port Mansfield Jetties
The Port Mansfield Jetties offer a secluded and adventurous destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Known for excellent fishing, this spot is perfect for anglers looking to catch redfish, trout, and other Gulf species. The waves along the jetties also attract surfers seeking uncrowded breaks, while beachcombers can explore miles of untouched shoreline. For those looking to extend their stay, overnight camping is permitted, allowing you to enjoy the stunning star-filled skies and peaceful sounds of the surf. Whether fishing, surfing, or relaxing by the water, the Port Mansfield Jetties promise an unforgettable coastal experience.
Be Prepared for the Trip
The drive offers stunning views of untouched beaches and wildlife, but be prepared—there are no services along the way. Pack plenty of food, water, and supplies for a day trip, and check weather conditions and tides before heading out. The reward? A secluded spot perfect for fishing, beach-combing, and experiencing the natural beauty of the Texas coast.
It is highly recommended that you take a small shovel, bucket, tow strap, and air compressor if available.
Watch Out for Driftwood and Washouts
Driving along the beach towards the Port Mansfield Jetties is an exciting off-road experience, but the terrain can be unpredictable. Be on the lookout for driftwood, which can block the path, and avoid any large holes or soft patches of sand that can trap vehicles. Washouts from tides and rougher sections of beach may also create challenges. A 4×4 vehicle is recommended for navigating these obstacles safely. Always keep an eye on tide conditions, and drive cautiously to ensure a smooth and safe journey.
