There is a park lot @ the river mouth. Also, beach parking for the other spots
Overview
Atmosphere
There is actualy 4 different breaks here. There is the jetty across the river. Which breaks good on a N.E. or E. swell. Can get up 100 yds rights here. Then there is the point just down from the jetty. Man made by the dredging of the Colorado. Creating a steep sand point here. Also, good on cold fronts. Long rights. Then on the public beach side. There is Spanish Tiles. Hard breaking beachbreak. Then down the public breach about 5 miles is Shellbanks. This wave breaks on a shellbank in super shallow water. Creaing a fast, hallow beachbreak. You know surfing here is serious biz after getting pounded on this bottom.
General
This is one of my favorite Texas spots. Because of the power Gorda offers.

Gorda
Gorda gets insane for northern coast surf. Gorda gets insane period. I went out on a easy 7ft+ day, it was the best rides ever, and worst wipeouts ive ever had. Its a huge wave over 1ft of water and rock, who doesnt like that?
