Parks & Nature
This is an island of that is uninhabited. And has no motor vehicles- its about 70 miles tall and one mile wide. Wanna escape crowds? Go to the harbor and catch the Ferry to "St Joe's island . The Ferry runs hourly. This is not a resort destination. This is the Texas Coast the way La Salle saw it in the 1500's. Primitive . Excellent shelling. Also you will be alone. Plan accordingly.
