TPW TV MUSTANG ISLAND: A mid coast getaway where the family can relax… on Passport to Texas This is Passport to Texas (week of Feb 11) Are you thinking about a coastal getaway with the family this summer, but wondering where to go? The Texas Parks and Wildlife Television PBS series takes you to an island retreat that offers recreation and relaxation for the whole family. Producer Abe Moore. 57—[:02 ocean ambience] As a producer and a dad, I’m always looking for stories or places where it’s kid friendly, or something great for the family. And Mustang island, it’s just a great place for kids, and then as a parent, you can kind of just hang out. People, when they come out to the island, they’re looking for relaxation. So, the minute they get here and get set up, that’s all they’re looking to do—just sit back, relax and take it at their own pace. It’s also a great place for fishing, and beach combing and birding. When I was out there filming, there was a lot of kite surfing going on, so that was really cool. What’s really nice about it, it’s right there in the central part of the coast. In Texas, I don’t think a lot of people realize within hours you can be here. And when you sit out in this breeze coming off the water, it’s just great. So that’s story’s going to be on Texas Parks and Wildlife television in the fourth week of June. Enjoy! [:02 ocean ambience fades] The TPW TV segment airs the week of February 17 on PBS stations.
