This little-known Texas gem marks the spot where the Colorado River meets the Gulf of Mexico. Along the unspoiled beaches, you can catch a glimpse of more than 241 species, making the area one of North America's premier bird-watching destinations. Kids will want to hunt a more exotic creature: the cowboy. For a unique view, take a canoe trip down the Colorado, where your family can see cattle ranches and cowboys driving herds.
