About This Access Site
Parrot Eyes Water Sports offers a dedicated boat ramp on South Padre Island providing convenient access to the Laguna Madre, a shallow, sheltered bay ideal for kayaking and paddleboarding. The ramp is located next to Laguna Madre RV Park and is designed to help paddlers avoid crowded facilities at other regional launch points. The site features a spacious, uncongested launch area in clear, shallow waters—typically waist-deep—making it suitable for beginners and those seeking a more relaxed paddling experience away from heavy motorboat traffic.

Beyond the boat ramp, Parrot Eyes offers full-service amenities including kayak and paddleboard rentals, fishing charters with professional guides, and other water sports activities. This makes it a practical all-in-one destination for paddlers who want equipment rental or guided experiences on the Laguna Madre. The location also provides easy access to nearby Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge, a prime paddling destination for observing wintering waterfowl and other migratory birds. For the best experience, plan your visit to take advantage of calm water conditions typical of the protected bay waters.
