Tucked away in the quaint community of Treasure Island in San Luis Pass you'll find Tuck's Landing, an ideal oceanfront retreat for Winter Texans, romantic escapes, honeymooners, family vacations  & holidays or long weekends.

San Luis Pass is located at the tip of beautiful Follet's Island, first discovered by the Karankawa Indians.  We are conveniently located at the foot of the San Luis Pass Bridge for fast & easy access into historic Galveston Island. 

 

Sunrise Trout Fishing

in front of Tuck's Landing

 

San Luis Pass is famous for some of the best trout fishing
 
along the Gulf Coast. Many bays and lakes ebb and flow through San Luis Pass, bringing fish of all types and sizes.

 

The newly remodeled 1250 ft. lighted San Luis Pass Fishing Pier is located a short walking distance from Tuck's LandingSome record breakers have been caught off the Pier since it was built in 1946!

 

The Pier has an air-conditioned concession stand open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with bagged ice, fishing supplies, clean bathrooms and even a menu to choose from.

 

San Luis Pass Fishing Pier

 

Fishing for trout is fantastic in the shallow water in front of our house  since it where the spawning waters of the bays meet the Gulf of Mexico.

Also located on The Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail, San Luis Pass is rated one of the top ten birding areas along the trail. Over 75% of Texas' 600 different bird species can be viewed from along the Great Coastal Birding Trail!

For birders, the Texas coast is a marvel of tanagers, buntings, orioles, warblers, and hummingbirds. With 613 documented birds, Texas exceeds all other states in opportunities to see a variety of birds. Texas specialties such as the green jay, ringed kingfisher, and great kiskadee provide birders with unique viewing opportunities. 

The Upper, Central and Lower portions of the Trail comprise 43 separate loops. San Luis Pass is in the Bluewater Loop. Each encompasses an array of associated sites and birds.
