This is a lovely place and a lovely town that was forgotten by time on the coast of Texas. Palacios really is in the middle of nowhere and it feels like it, and that's probably one of the main parts of the allure. The beautiful Gulf of Mexico stretches out from the South Bay Marina where all the little boats are chilling out. You will not find many places as beautiful as this and as peaceful and relaxing in the world. I've come here with 2 different girlfriends now. Literally. I must like it. Palacios that is. Not coming. But that too.

This was fantastic. We got lucky, as the captain proclaimed. The cranes came out to the open beach…read moreand a few of them even flew around for a while. And there were plenty of other birds, including Tri-colored herons and Reddish egrets. Not to mention ospreys and hawks galore. But the captain and the mate were what made it special. They were fun, funny, and incredibly informative. They also made sure we were comfortable and happy. They leant us nice binoculars and had a telescope they would focus on the far-away birds and let us look into. In short, they really cared. They were as nutty about birds as their customers, which is what you want and need for an experience like this. The captain was an aviary scholar who happened to captain a tour boat. Perfect.

We took the 3 -hour Whooping Crane & Coastal Birding boat tour. Great trip; highly recommended…read more The purpose of our weekend in the area was to see whooping cranes, and the company guarantees a sighting - they know where the cranes hang out and we saw at least a dozen pairs. We saw many other birds (the captain called them out) and dolphins. The boat holds at least 30 guests and has both open observation decks and enclosed seating below. Wear non-slip shoes and bring binoculars, a hat, and a jacket. There are small toilets on board, and we were served drinks and basic snacks. They have about a dozen loaner binoculars if you do not have a pair.

The RV park also has a very nice Rec Hall with a kitchen, shuffle board and a private boat launch and small marina to keep a boat at. Only 4 minutes from the white sands of Magnolia Beach and 3 from the Indianola Fishing Marina that has live music every weekend in the summer for free. Powderhorn is the perfect place to stay for a weekend to enjoy the world famous fishing or to stay a few months on a longer contract job. The community it's in is quite and friendly. Another bonus is that Mike the owner is always available with a hand shake and a smile. Couldn't imagine staying anywhere else in the Port LaVaca area now.
