Chocolate Bayou

 

Located just 8 miles west of Alvin, Chocolate Bayou eventually hits the coast and runs down to the Gulf of Mexico, making it an excellent place to fish and kayak. The variety of fish here is impressive, including a number of saltwater fish. Speckled trout, red and black drum, and flounder, to name a few. To fish here, it is recommended you get an all-water fishing license, which is good for both saltwater and freshwater fishing.
