The 7 Best Outdoor Activities in Brownsville, Texas (TX)

July 24, 2021 Nicolette Lion

At the mouth of the Rio Grande delta and the southernmost tip of Texas, Brownsville enjoys the perfect combination of casual southwestern charm and bicultural diversity. Its position just across the international pedestrian bridge from Matamoros makes it a good base for day trips to Mexico, or for just enjoying the Tex-Mex culture of south Texas. Warm Gulf breezes, blooming bougainvilleas, gently waving palms, soft white sands and friendly, diverse locals make this city a semi-tropical paradise.

Reviewed By Valkyrie1227

Incredible zoo, definitely the highlight of not just brownsville but the entire Rio Grande Valley for that matter. A definite must-visit, the herpetarium in particular has an incredible array of extremely rare reptiles and amphibians on display, with most of them being actively bred and several conservation projects ongoing.

Valley International Country Club

Valley International's Championship Course is an 18-hole course that spans more than 1,000 acres. The course layout really makes the most out of the natural water hazards. Twelve of the eighteen fairways are either bordered or dissected by a water, creating a unique challenge that few, if any, courses can duplicate. We also have newly renovated nine hole Par 3 Executive Course.
