Free”. Great views of the bay. Watch large ships with cargo and cruise ships come and go from the Gulf of Mexico. Lots of birds. Mostly, Seagulls, black birds, and watch for the Dolphins. Bring the birds something to eat. This is a must do. Sunsets are beautiful. I’ve never been during the sunrises, but I’m sure it’s glorious.

Ocean Star Offshore Drilling Rig and Museum
2002 Wharf RdGo all the way east on Seawall Blvd till you reach the end of the seawall. There’s parking at the tip. Best place for watching the sunrise. You’ll see ships and cruise liners coming and going. Quite a sight. Great place for picnics. If you follow the road on the right it will lead you to the sandy beaches. I believe they charge, but at certain times I believe it’s open and free.
