CTC 012: Palacios Waterfront and Texas Baptist Encampment
Season: Winter

The Texas Baptist Encampment is situated on a point of land (Hamilton's Point) near the conjunction of East and South Bay Boulevards, and may be reached by continuing south 3 blocks on Business 35 from Trull Marsh and turning left on East Bay Boulevard. Park along Bay Drive near the fishing pier, and search Tres Palacios Bay for loons, grebes, pelicans, ducks (Common Goldeneye), gulls, and terns. Combined with Bayshore Drive (CTC 010), and Lookout Point (CTC 013), the time invested here in scouring the bay for waterbirds should be well rewarded.
