Tourism and Lodging

When is the best time of year to visit Kingsville? The answer is: anytime! Our average temperature is 72°, and our winters are extremely moderate. Unlike many vacation spots, weather conditions in Kingsville are extremely conducive to recreational plans. Most rain showers are quick, refreshing bursts; it rains an average of 17 inches per year, which is well below the United States average. So make those vacation plans with confidence.

We offer recreational activities to suit people of any age or interest. Baffin Bay, located just south of Kingsville in Riviera, is world-renowned for its large spotted sea trout. In fact, the Texas State record (13 lbs. 11 oz) was caught in these waters. Interested in sightseeing on the world-famous King Ranch? Guided tours are offered at specified times throughout the day and give a fascinating glimpse into Kingsville’s past, as well as King Ranch’s invaluable contributions to current-day ranching practices. Other nature tours are available to observe our native wildlife, including our 450+ species of birds. Finish up your tours with a stroll through our quaint, historic downtown followed by a visit to our
museums — the Connor Museum, King Ranch Museum and Railroad Depot each provide a unique glimpse into our rich culture and heritage. And of course, we offer pastimes to fit other varied tastes, including hunting trips, camping adventures and golfing.

You can also experience Kingsville’s rich culture through our unique festivals and events, including the South Texas Birding and Wildlife Festival; the Ranch Hand Breakfast; the Young Performers international music competition; and Cactus Bowl, our Division II All-Star football game. Music festivals, rodeos, concerts and collegiate sporting events round out the area’s calendar. For a schedule of events, please contact the Convention and Visitors Bureau at 361-592-8516 or visit them at www.kingsvilletexas.com.
