Dive excursions include caves and reefs where you can views spectacular marine life including barracuda and angel sharks.

 

Spas on Matagorda are a popular feature and are the perfect way to unwind. Many of the hotels have their own spas and this is a growing feature with the seawater used as a fundamental part of the treatments. Book yourself in for a full day and come out feeling rejuvenated.
