Nestled on the banks of the Brazos River and the Gulf Coast, Freeport is regarded as a prime destination for fishing and boating. Freeport residents and visitors alike have the opportunity to fish from a pier, on the banks of a river, or out at sea. Freeport also hosts a broad range of fishing competitions throughout the year, such as the Texas Billfish Classic, Take-A-Child Fishing Tournament, and Fishin’ Fiesta.

Numerous wildlife centers are convenient to Freeport, including Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge, San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge, Justin Hurst Wildlife Management Area, and Sea Center Texas, where visitors can view all kinds of wildlife and often explore lush hiking trails.

While Freeport exudes a laidback atmosphere in a small-town environment, it is within an hour’s drive to the city centers of Houston and Galveston. Convenient access to Routes 36 and 288 makes getting around from Freeport simple.
