Lamar Peninsula

LAMAR PENINSULA

Just over the Copano Bay causeway lies the community of Lamar. The original town, named after Mirabeau B. Lamar, the second President of the Republic of Texas, is gone, but the spirit of the original settlers remains. The peninsula is surrounded by Aransas, Copano and St. Charles Bays and is home to several waterfront communities including The Boardwalk, Neptune Harbor, Holiday Beach and Lamar Pointe Preserve.

The heart of Lamar, Goose Island State Park, is the second most used state park in the state of Texas. It is a favorite of campers, fishermen who favor the long fishing bridge and duck hunters. Situated directly on Aransas Bay, the park boasts quick access to Copano and St. Charles Bays plus the intercoastal.

The residents of Lamar, or “ Lamartians”, as they like to call themselves, have organized to support the VFD with a huge flea market and BBQ each fall and LamardiGras in the spring. Don’t miss the LamardiGras parade and crowning of the king and queen.

The unique home at 104 Burns overlooks St. Charles Bay. The rustle of palm trees provides a tranquil feeling as you sit on the wrap-around porch. Three stories of charm with waterviews from each room. This is your opportunity to become a “Lamartian”. Just reduced to $185,000, the 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath home includes 2 bonus rooms, 2 car garage and a fenced backyard. It is listed well below the county's assessed value.
