I don't know about right now but I spoke with the city secretary and she said everything will be back to normal by early October.

Hey 4x4 hoss! I work right by the surfside bridge an I had a friend that was doing cleanup work on the beach and he told me that the beach would be opened back up on the weekend 9/27/08. I decided to go down there and check things out but it was still road blocked. Bummer! I decided to go back on Monday 9/29/08 at lunch and there is no more road block. You can get on the beach at the first couple entrances but the futher you go down the more difficult it becomes with out 4 wheel drive. The water looked very good and there were no waves and the birds were just having a feast. Should be very good for at least the next week or so. I also drove down to Quintanna \ Bryan beach area and you can access the jettys now. On the Bryan beach side, if you take the side road at the stop sign you can go all the way down to the Brazos mouth. There is a pretty deep section of beach washed out between the old shrimp boat rigging and the back road exit. Hope this helps.

SWEEEEEEEET!!!

We rented a house out there for the weekend of oct. 17, I hope the fishing is good. never been there. There is a curfew at 10pm. They said it should be lifted any time soon.

We got back from Surfside. The beach is open and pretty busy but there is still a lot of construction and clean up going on. The curfew has been lifted. Live bait is available at a couple bait shops North of the bridge to Surfside. Bridge Bait is closed and so is the ramp but we were able to put in at the public ramp in Quintana. Caught lots of black tips and gaftops and they were biting pretty steady. Saw a couple guys haul in a 10' hammerhead a few hundred yards off of the Surfside jetty. All in all it was a good trip.

Anybody know how the Bridge Harbor Yacht Club is doing? When we go down there for offshore trips we usually stay in their rooms that are over the slips.. If you dont know, it is just east of the causeway on the mainland... I know the Bridge Bait stand is a mess ( they kept showing it on News cast under water).. just curious.

So Jetty park is up and running?

not sure the exact name (jetty park?), but the surfside and quintana jetties are open. went this past weekend to quintana and saw people fishing on the surfside side.

When I was down there there were people fishing on both jetties, but if I remember correctly I think the park on the Quintana side was still closed for repairs.

Hey Hoss where exactly is the quintana park, i know the surfside park is near the beginning of the jetties, but never knew of a park on the quintana side. Or is it just the area near the beginning of the quintana jetties?

They still have camp site and stuff around the jetties?

Put this into Google maps and it will be right on the marker: Quintana Beach Park, Freeport, TX 77541

From what I have heard the park was being rebuilt when I was there 2 weeks ago.
