Located on the lower Gulf Coast in the Coastal Prairies region, San Patricio County, is beautifully situated for you and your family to visit! Most of the county lies in the coastal plain, but in the far western area the surface is rolling with some caliche hills; elevations range from sea level to 200 feet. Sinton, the county seat, is just northeast of the center of the county sixteen miles north of Corpus Christi.
San Patricio County is made up of nine incorporated towns that stretches from the fresh water Lake Corpus Christi at Mathis to the salt water bays of Portland, Ingleside and Aransas Pass! Three museums tell the history of the area, one in San Patricio City: the Taft Blackland Museum as well as the Sinton Museum. This original Texas County will delight history buffs, geo-cachers, bird watchers, kayakers, RVers, wind surfers, golfers, fisherman, skateboarders, water skiers, hunters, shoppers and disc golfers. There are numerous aquatic centers that welcomes families of all types, including handicapped accessible services all across. The County offers ready access to the Texas State Aquarium, the Lexington, and the beaches of Mustang and Padre Island. Festivals abound from the Rattlesnake Races at San Patricio, Odem Jubilee, Taft Tamale Eating Contest, Windfest in Portland, to the Round UP Days and Renaissance Festival in Ingleside, and Shrimporee in Aransas Pass to name a few!
