Indianola, Powderhorn and Magnolia Beach are rural Bay communities of Port Lavaca, TX that is perfect to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Driving down Ocean Drive will give you a sense of being in a peninsula with Matagorda Bay on one side and Marsh Land and Bayous on the other side. The sittings of different variety birds are unreal. This is a true disconnect type of place, so even though is ideal for fishing, hunting, boating, kayaking, biking, birding you will need to bring your gear as there are not commercial rental places around. It's important that you bring water shoes to get in the water or walk the shore since our public beach has tiny Sea Shell as sand.
This area is loaded with Texas History since in the 1800s, many German immigrants came through the Indianola Port.
