Arroyo City is a tiny fishing town at the end of the road and is one of the last of it's kind on the Texas coast. What it does not have is traffic, stoplights, and a variety of restaurants. What it does have is abundant and varied avenues for visitors and residents to enjoy the unique and beautiful subtropical climate, Lower Laguna Madre bay system, and surrounding south Texas brush country. Our town is surrounded by 92,000 acre Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge which helps protect the surrounding ecosystem and Lower Laguna Fishery from development.

The Refuge is one of the last remaining homes to the endangered ocelot, one of the rarest cats on the planet. Visitors come from all over the world to visit the Rio Grande Valley for bird watching opportunities that rival anywhere on earth. The refuge headquarters is about a twenty minute drive away and has some excellent hiking trails and nature tours.

The Lower Laguna Madre is unique in the fact that most of it's shorelines are protected by the Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife refuge, King Ranch (825,000 acres), Kenedy Ranch, and Padre Island National Seashore. The entire bay system is extremely shallow with an average depth of 2-3 feet and holds approximately 75% of the seagrass on the Texas coast. This provides excellent habitat for bait fish and gamefish alike and keeps our waters very clear allowing for some of the best and most consistent sight-casting the Texas coast has to offer.
