Hans and Pat Suter Wildlife Refuge

The Hans and Pat Suter Wildlife Refuge spreads along the western shore of Oso Bay with coastal marshes, grasslands, and brackish water environments. These habitats support numerous bird species and other wildlife throughout the seasons.

The protected area was established to preserve critical wetland ecosystems along the Texas Gulf Coast. It was created to provide dedicated space for migratory birds traveling through the region.

The refuge functions as an educational center where visitors learn about coastal wildlife through interpretive signs and observation points along designated trails.

The refuge is accessible via Ennis Joslin Road and offers walking trails, observation platforms, and picnic tables for visitors. Parking and grilling facilities are available on site.

Pelicans, herons, and spoonbills are regularly sighted here, making it a preferred viewing spot for birdwatchers. The variety of wading bird species attracts visitors from across the region.
