Reviews
"Roadside pull-off with several info panels."
"The drive over from Brownsville city limits to Palmito is very Scenic Displaying South Texas Nature,untouched beauty and local wildlife animal/Birds Etc it is also en route to space x.Once at the Battle site you can get off your car and Explore the Historical site and read the bulletins for yourself to find out what really happened here at the historical site"
"I really enjoyed coming here and was happy to see and read the historical markers. I think a good addition would be a kiosk with interpretive maps or NPS/ state park brochures detailing the battle. A must see if you're interested in US history."
"I just happened to be going to Boca chica and there was a scheduled launch. I couldn't just go to the beach so this was a good place to stop and watch."
"The actual small trail and palmito ranch itself are located off a dirt road before this roadside monument as noted by some other reviews. The roadside monument itself is nice and has a good welcome sign to boca chica stat park. Good piece of history, not worth going specifically just for the monument but I recommend stopping here when driving to boca chica beach"
