Roberts Point Park - Parks Near Me - Port Aransas, Texas

Roberts Point Park offers so much to so many. It's open from sunrise to sunset every day of the year and is a beautiful place. You drive through in one direction with plenty of parking available throughout the park. It's wheelchair accessible and dog friendly, which I really appreciate. There's a boat launch with trailer parking and docks, fishing areas, a pirate ship playground with a splash pad, covered picnic tables, an observation deck, a basketball court, and a large covered pavilion with a kitchen and bathrooms. The city hosts events there, and it's also available for private rentals. I love stopping along the waterfront to watch the dolphins play and ships sail in and out of the port. read more

We absolutely love this park and can't wait to go back! Clean, and inclusive setup. Equipment was fun for all ages! And if you walk out to the pier you can see dolphins a lot of times. read more

Super family friendly! Toddlers to Seniors had a blast playing and walking around. Plan to come back to fish next time.

I'll report back on this next year when they're finished with their construction, but in the meantime, it sits between the bay and the wharf and the views are beautiful and you can sit and watch dolphins jump, and play. For free! You can also do a little fishing there if you like read more

AWFUL firework traffic. You'd think with the proximity to the ferry that they would have a solution for firework traffic. SAT for HOUR to move 0,5 miles to light. Plan better y'all. read more

Great clean spot to watch dolphins, bathrooms nearby, and have a family picnic. Ensure you pack your mosquito repellent and sunscreen during this time read more

Roberts Point Park - Beautiful spot to watch the sunset and do some fishing. Ensure you pack mosquito repellent and sunscreen! - Parks Near Me - Port Aransas, Texas

Great play area for the kids, with a large covered pavilion to watch them play from to stay out of the sun. Bathrooms are nearby and clean.

We met our fishing guide here at 6:15am at the municipal dock located in this park. The park is very well maintained. Plenty of portable restrooms, as well as permanent building restrooms. At 6 in the morning, the portables are fresh and stocked. By 3 in the afternoon, not so much. They are located at the dock. The permanent ones are further in by the pavilion and fish house. The harbor master building is also there. There is a children's playground, benches and tables. You can sit and watch the boats come and go. Plenty of parking for cars or a truck with attached boat trailer. It's a very pleasant area. Go there. read more

This is an awesome park. The play equipment is really and the main thing is supposed to be like a pirate ship. My daughter loved playing here. The park is located right on the water so it is neat to see the boats go by. This seems to be a popular fishing spot too. The best part is they have a tall lookout you can climb overlooking the water. We climbed up here and saw dolphins almost instantly! This is definitely a must visit. read more

One can go up to the observation deck and see dolphins as well as pelicans. We did this as well as the dolphin boat tour at Scarlett Lady. You see quite a few more on the tour, but if you're limited for time this is worth a quick stop. read more

After reading all the great reviews about this place, I had to find Roberts Point Park. This was really a lovely spot and one my boyfriend and I probably enjoyed the most. You can take the ferry to the other side which we did not do but instead came before sunset with the dogs, walked around and met some really lovely people that go there regularly. They told us that you could see the dolphins swimming and they will come up close enough by you...Sure enough they were swimming right along the edge where we were standing. My boyfriend saw one catch a fish. It was such a peaceful lovely moment to be amongst such beautiful creatures. I fell in love with Port A right there. read more

Great place to watch the dolphins. Grab a blizzard or cone at the nearby Dairy Queen, and head over to Roberts Point Park at sunset. The dolphins are fairly close. You should also catch a ship or two passing by, Benches are available near the shore and in a lookout tower. There is also a small pier for fishing. To get there, hang a hard right past the ferry line. Take the kids. Good, free fun. read more

This place was amazing! You could see tons of dolphins jumping out right in front of you as well as sea turtles. We ended up fishing and found a spot amongst everyone else that were fishing . We caught multiple sheepshead and it was a great little spot! read more

This is a beautiful park that we had the privilege to drive through on the way to get on the ferry to head back to the mainland from Port Aransas. The line to get on the ferry snakes you through this nice park that's right on the water, but has no real beach. It's full of grass, soccer fields, playgrounds, and places to sit and watch the ferries go in and out of the port. There are public restrooms here- just don't jump the curb trying to get to them! This seems to be a popular spot for fishing, because you're not allowed to fish off the ferry. The park is on a little isthmus, with the road for the ferry running the length of it. It makes a long wait for the ferry a bit more pleasant to see the wildlife in the park, and people out having a good time. read more

This is a great park located right by the ferry landing on the Marina side. They have tons of picnic tables and at least 2 public restrooms. The park is visible as visitors ride the ferryboats from the mainland to Port Aransas on Mustang Island and folks may drive, bike, walk or take the free local trolley to the park from stops along a 1-hour loop that runs through Port Aransas. An observation tower overlooks the ship channel and provides an excellent spot for watching the dolphins as they bow-surf in front of the cargo ships and tankers that travel the channel. come to relax, read a book, fish or bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the view of the ferry boats (more interesting than you think) and the other boats. Very kid friendly - I mean it's a park but with a few extras. Great for Birthday Parties, etc. Plenty of parking. read more

For our family, Roberts Point Park is THE non-beachy park to hit when you are in Port Aransas. With the variety of amenities that have evolved over the last 10 years, this park is a terriffic destination to help balance out your beach-oriented vacation. To demonstrate the park's diverse options, here is a list of things to do when you are here; - let your kids choose to play on two playgrounds (one for tots), - pick out a bench, sit (in the shade) and just enjoy the salt air, - hang out on the pier, watch the fishermen - you may be surprised by what all they catch, - spread out a blanket on the grass and enjoy a picnic, - gawk at the size and swiftness of the oil tankers from the shore, - watch the dolphins cruise the channel, - climb the viewing tower and watch the ferry work (the Ding-danged ole 'Dingwald' is my favorite!), - sit on the marina side and watch fishing boats come and go, - shoot some hoop at the covered basketball court, - play soccer on the soccer field, - hit one of two Public restrooms as needed, - walk to the marina side and buy Extra Large Shrimp for $5.00 per pound from the Polly Anna..... or any number of fishing boats, (Pro Tip; don't forget to bring CASH MONEY - AND a small cooler to help contain your prawns.), - catch the fireworks show on 4th of July weekend, - catch a band at one of two concert pavillions. With no shortage of entertainment options, Roberts Point Park is a great stop for everyone in a trip to the island! read more

Super neat little park. Nice playground for the kids. Lots of benches and great viewing area of the ships and dolphins. Lots of people fishing and having a good time. Looks like they had Salt Lick Bbq at night and some other vendors. Worth a stop for sure. read more

Nice clean park. Public restrooms are clean. We saw dozens of sea turtles and several dolphins. Nice sidewalks near the shore to stroll down. Highly recommend. read more

I love this park! When I first discovered this little park right off the ferry landing, I was hooked. I loved the style and feel and look to this whole place. I was just so relaxing to walk around and enjoy and play on the swings and sit on a bench looking out into the ocean channel with huge oil tankers and boats drifting by. This is a great place to relax with a nice drink from Coffee Waves (see review, http://www.yelp.com/biz/coffee-waves-port-aransas#hrid:3XdSUEHauLPmP-QthOywqw). One night my family and I did just that. We got some drinks and coffee, drove here and found a nice bench, and just enjoyed the waves coming in, while my dad and brother fished. The park is equipped with a playground, outdoor mini-theatre, fishing piers, benchs, a covered basketball court, and marina as well. The restaurants are near by and there is usually always a breeze. There is so many great things about this park that I can say but its a place you will have to experience for yourself. Be sure to drop by the next time your around and give it a great review! read more

Love this place. Where else can you just sit by the water and watch dolphins for hours up close. They also have great play areas for kids.

Pre Harvey it was nice you could fish off the pier, walk on the sidewalk along the water... but now Post Harvey over a year later they haven't done anything to fix the pier, the two story tower - it's closed off. The sidewalks are a total disaster!! Along with the holes next to the sidewalk that's in the grass I'm surprised someone hasn't been really hurt!! They have added more play equipment for the kids.. That's nice!! But for fishing it really SUCKS!!!!! read more

A nice place to sit in your car or on a bench and watch the dolphins playing in the bay, the ships and barges going by, etc. You can fish off the bank or the dock. Picnic areas in the park. A very nice place. Good job Port Aransas. read more
