The two of us, alone on San Jose Island.
One lucky fisherman we met on the beach.
This is steel, but it washed here during Hurricane Ike.
The Jetty boat makes hourly trips from Mustang Island.
Is this a great place to be, or what?

A lone crane just hanging out on the dunes.
Brown Pelican meets the jetty boat every trip.
Another barrier island, just north of Mustang Island, is San Jose Island. The island is uninhabited and undeveloped. The only way to get there is by boat or helicopter. We rode over on the Jetty boat and spent about 6 hours wandering on a nearly deserted beach. The beach was well-littered by hurricane Ike. In fact, it was really messy which made it a lot more interesting than the more traveled beaches on Mustang and Padre Islands. The pick-up boat didn't come to get us until after dark so that made for a very full day of fun in the sun. We want to go back to Saint Jo for a longer visit. The island is over 30 miles long, so we've only seen a small part of the south end.
