Small historic lighthouse on Matagorda Bay offering classic coastal compositions: the solitary tower, tidal flats, reflections and passing fishing boats. Best at sunrise or golden-hour sunset for warm light and long shadows; low tide reveals mudflats and foreground texture. Accessible from TX‑35 shoreside parking; no public access inside the structure—plan shore-based shots. Expect variable bay winds and abundant shorebirds; weekdays bring fewer visitors.
