your home away text

"Never in my life from Tennessee to Texas have I ever seen more beautiful landscape," are the terms that lawyer and railway innovator Pryor Lea conveyed to a modest group of idealists in 1850 as they stood along the banks of what is now identified as Redfish Bay near Aransas Pass.

Lydia Ann Lighthouse

The Lydia Ann Lighthouse is 65 feet tall and is located along the Lydia Ann Channel. Construction of the lighthouse began in 1855 and was first lit in 1857. The lighthouse is the second oldest on the Texas coast and the oldest surviving structure in the Aransas Pass area.

In 1955, the lighthouse was delisted and sold at auction. Currently, the property is privately owned and is not open to the public. However, it can be viewed from kayak or boat through Lighthouse Lakes Trails. The trails were mapped in 1999 and is a series of four loops ranging in length from 1.25 miles to 6.8 miles. The trails meander through an extensive black mangrove estuary and sloughs. The trails can be accessed from Redfish Bay Causeway/Highway 361 between Aransas Pass and the ferry landing to Port Aransas.
