Port Aransas Jetty South

★★★☆☆ (86)

Water entry is off of very large boulders. Incoming/outgoing tides need to be considered. BE AWARE people are fishing in the adjacent along the Jetty. Visibility varies with tides and weather (fair to poor). Sandy bottom around 20-foot depth (+/-) dependent on the tide.

Sea turtles are present at times. Small fish in the rocks. Dolphins can be seen in the boat channel.
