🦝"Raccoon Island" — locals' nickname for this spot
🌅Arrive at sunset, not morning, for the full raccoon army
🐟Bring fishing gear, croakers and sharks bite here

Come at sunset for "Raccoon Island," where dozens of friendly raccoons emerge from the rocks around the old fort ruins. Beyond the abandoned gun emplacement, it's a surprisingly charming spot to watch ships cross Galveston Bay.
