Although it is known for being the “Shrimp Capital of Texas,” the quaint resort town of Palacios, Texas remains somewhat of a hidden gem on the Texas coast. The attractive coastline is bounded by a lighted seawall and picturesque parks system featuring three massive fishing piers. Modern boat launch sites allow free access to the beautiful Tres Palacios and Matagorda Bays for commercial fishing and recreation. For nature lovers, Palacios offers unique bird watching opportunities – leading the annual Audubon bird count each year, which is no small feat. Our friendly citizens and laid-back pace of life offer a respite from big-city life, while still within easy driving distance of several cities. Palacios is ideally situated about halfway between Houston and Corpus Christi and is also within easy reach of Victoria, San Antonio and Austin.
Because of all of these factors, Palacios is uniquely suited to develop in several sectors: Tourism, Film Industry, Shrimping & Commercial Fishing, and Light Industrial.
