Located on South Padre Island in Texas, Port Mansfield Jetties is a good jetty break that peels over a sand bottom. The waves here are some of the best in Texas, breaking hard for up to 100 meters throwing out steep, barreling sections when the swell is right. Access is by boat or 4wd only, bring all your supplies with you.
