Sargent, TX

Tucked along Caney Creek in Matagorda County, Sargent is a quiet, down-to-earth coastal community where life naturally revolves around the water. Situated roughly twenty-five miles southeast of Bay City, the area is surrounded by East Matagorda Bay, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Gulf of Mexico. Most people move or visit here for the fantastic fishing, uncrowded shores at Sargent Beach, and direct boat access right from their backyards. With its rows of stilt homes along the canals, laid-back neighbors, and slow daily rhythm, Sargent is an appealing spot for retirees, anglers, and anyone looking for a peaceful slice of the Texas coast.
