Cove Harbor South Gets a Facelift

Aransas County Navigation District commissioners and staff members, as well as representatives from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) were on hand for the grand opening of the new boat ramp and restrooms at Cove Harbor South (CHS).

Representatives from the Rockport-Fulton Area Chamber of Commerce conducted an official ribbon cutting ceremony to mark the event.

The improvements at CHS were made possible by a 75/25 grant funded by TPWD, explained Harbormaster Keith Barrett. The project was completed by LL&F Construction out of El Campo.

The parking area was completely paved with concrete to provide many years of maintenance-free service. The restroom was built with long-term service in mind and complies with ADA requirements. Barrett also pointed out a new septic system was installed to meet with environmental code requirements.

Barrett said the project included the addition of 25 feet of bulkhead on each side of the boat ramp. The walkways and docks on each side of the remp were built wide, to meet ADA requirements, and with low-sloping grades for easy access for all boaters.

The fish cleaning station is another amenity for boaters.

Safety and security were taken into consideration and thus the entire facility, including the parking lot, ramp, docks, and fish cleaning station, are well lighted.

Barrett said ACND officials hope everyone will appreciate the design, craftsmanship and quality of the materials used on this project.

He said they improved CHS in order to alleviate some of the pressure from the high amount of boat traffic at CHN.

He said they expect the CHS facility to be utilized by residents of Aransas County as well as by visitors.

He added, “From what I have seen this may be one of the best facilities of this type on the coast.”
