Located at the eastern-most point of the Texas Coastal Bend, the Bolivar Peninsula forms a very narrow strip of land in Galveston County, Texas, separating the eastern part of Galveston Bay from the Gulf of Mexico. Named in 1816 for Simón Bolívar, pirates/privateers Jean Laffite and Louis-Michel Aury each used the Bolivar Peninsula as part of the pirate kingdom established around the Galveston Bay.

The communities of Port Bolivar, Crystal Beach, Caplen, Gilchrist, and High Island are located on Bolivar Peninsula.
You will find RV Resorts, restaurants, fishing and many more amenities when you visit or stay on the Bolivar Peninsula.

Port Aransas and Mustang Island are 18 miles of shoreline and wide, sandy beaches.

Bird watching and fishing are just some of the things you can enjoy in this tropical region.

Sargent is a fishing, boating, and water sports community with a variable population, as most of its inhabitants are weekend commuters from larger cities such as Houston, Austin, and San Antonio.

The Sargent area, with its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, East Matagorda Bay, the Intracoastal Waterway, and Caney Creek, is home base to many commercial and sport fisherman and shrimpers. Red drum, Spotted Seatrout, Flounder, Blue Crab and shrimp are among the local favorites.

Sargent is on Farm Road 457, five miles northwest of the Gulf of Mexico and twenty-four miles southeast of Bay City.
