Fulton Harbor
A classic harbor birding stop where working waterfront activity meets dependable coastal birds.
Fulton Harbor is an excellent place to show guests the everyday birdlife of the Texas coast. Pelicans, gulls, terns, and herons are often close and cooperative, making it especially rewarding for beginners and photographers. In winter the harbor can also produce loons, diving ducks, and other open-water species, so it stays interesting even for experienced birders.
