Fishing, splash pads and birding near the Gulf Coast

Oyster Creek Municipal Park is a popular outdoor gathering space bordering the creek. Residents can fish from the pier or have a picnic, and when it's warm out, neighborhood kids can cool off at the splash pad. A couple of years ago, the Brazoria National Wildlife Refugee opened a new recreation area around Oyster Creek. The Cannan Bend Recreation Area has a freshwater lake where locals can go fishing. The recreation area is less than 4 miles from the Gulf of Mexico, and so the coastal forest attracts Nearctic-neotropical songbirds during their migration of crossing the gulf. During the summertime, residents can spend their days at Surfside Beach, roughly 6 miles south of Oyster Creek.

Local eats and drinks with more options in Lake Jackson

When hunger strikes, residents can satisfy their appetite at Mi Ranchito Mexican Restaurant. Locals describe Creek Side Bar, a neighborhood watering hole, as a place with great atmosphere and friendly bartenders. For even more nightlife and restaurants, Dena Pate, a sales associate with Coldwell Banker Ultimate and a lifelong resident of Brazoria County, recommends Lake Jackson, less than 10 miles from Oyster Creek. "The civic center in Lake Jackson has performers every Friday night," Pate says. In Lake Jackson, Oyster Creek residents can also stock up their fridges at Kroger Marketplace, Walmart Supercenter and H-E-B.
