Some of the best memories are the simple ones — a fishing pole, a quiet evening, and a sunset over the water.

Happy Mother’s Day to the moms, grandmothers, bonus moms, and mother figures who help make family memories happen.

From our family to yours, we hope today brings you a little rest, a little love, and one of those moments you’ll want to remember.

Flip through Texas Highways and see why Rockport is a Texas favorite. Book your stay with us—you’ll fall in love, just like we did!

Things are heating up and Texans are readying themselves to flock to the nearest body of water. From rivers and lakes to mineral springs and the ocean, our June water issue dives into a myriad of places to cool off this summer.

In “The Reel Deals,” contributing writer Tracey Minkin traveled the Texas coast in search of the state’s most timeless seafood dives. From Nederland to Port Isabel, Minkin picked 20 spots where it’s all high tides and good vibes.

Meanwhile, Texas Highways’ longtime resident river expert Joe Nick Patoski recommends the Guadalupe River’s top spots for recreation, food, and lodging in “Guad-ahhh-lupe.” "This is the coolest place to be outdoors for 350
miles in any direction," he writes.

And San Antonio-based writer-at-large Katie Gutierrez takes readers on a personal wellness journey at the state’s storied mineral spas in “Healing Waters.” After experiencing a medical crisis, Gutierrez explores the health benefits these spas can provide.

Throughout the rest of the issue, you’ll find a guide to the coastal town of Rockport, a roundup of the state’s most extravagant hotel pools, and a spotlight on a biologist dedicated to saving the Kemp’s ridley sea turtle.
