Getting around
Sea Wall walking path and city parks
Palacios has a wonderful seawall for taking a walk around the Bay. It is dotted with city parks and boat ramps. Take a picnic or barbque in one of the pavillions and enjoy the day!
Getting around
Your boat
If you are bringing a boat please chack the tide reports at
https://www.tide-forecast.com/locations/Palacios/tides/latest
If the tides are low you will not be able to park your boat at the house. Also it will depend on the size of your boat. The canal to the house is very shallow and you will have to fit under a neighbors walkover. Please check the pictures in the listing. Kayaks, canoes and paddleboards are not a problem and recommended.
