An investment group is looking to change the face of Bolivar Peninsula with a 110-acre, multiphase beachfront development that includes a hotel and beach resort, and a private airport. This September will mark 15 years since Hurricane Ike leveled Bolivar Peninsula and efforts to rebuild the coastline are still underway.
"New homes, most of the homes are worth a lot more than they used to be, some of the homes are worth $1 to 2 million," said Bolivar Investment Group Head of Marketing Mike Wiglesworth. Now Wiglesworth and his group are set to build a unique resort to serve daily, weekly, and long-term rentals.
"We think it will be very successful," Wiglesworth said.

The Bolivar Peninsula Fly-In and Resort Airport
Wow, massive!
the crowds?
private airport, planes flying in and out, noise, who gets to use the airport?
the State will not be able to buy enough Ferry's to get the people over to Bolivar.
Screw the environmental/birding/fishing grounds I suppose, birding habitats, fishing grounds, much less the people that have called it home all their lives. wonder what the environmental impact from all this will be?
Port Bolivar, Crystal Beach, surrounding areas will never be the same imo, they just thought Hurricane Ike was bad.
Trying to fish East Bay after this will be a nightmare, from all the added pressure.
I can see it now, Hanna's and Deep Reefs, Siever's cut/flats, Goat Island, Pepper Pt., Fat Rat Pass, Long Pt., Marsh Pt., Mussel Pt., Frozen Pt., all the way to the shores of far East Bay, back around and up through Windmills, Moody's Reef, Whitehead Reef, all the back up to Smith Point on the other side, will be nothing but boats and recreation, with the closer of Rollover Pass, this big sprawling playland for the rich, now you can kiss all that good-by, as we knew it, imo. with that much boat/fishing pressure and the recreation from all of the above, added to East Bay, that fishing resort will quickly go downhill, imo.
WTF were they thinking (Commissioners)$, sure was not the folks that had been living their all of their lives.
They call it progress.
what's happening to _our_ beaches anyway?
Mayes Middleton SB 434
In Texas, public access to Gulf Coast beaches is not just the law, it is a constitutional right.
Walking along the beach in Texas has been a privilege since Texas was a Republic, and the Texas Land Commissioner protects this public right for all Texans by enforcing the Texas Open Beaches Act.
Under the Texas Open Beaches Act the public has the free and unrestricted right to access Texas beaches, which are located on what is commonly referred to as the "wet beach," from the water to the line of mean high tide. The dry sandy area that extends from the "wet beach” to the natural line of vegetation is usually privately owned but may be subject to the public beach easement. The line of vegetation may shift due to wind, and wave and tidal actions caused by storms and hurricanes.
“If SB 434 passes, don’t be surprised if you show up at your favorite beach spot and you’re confronted with a fenced-off beach or ‘no trespassing’ signs,” former state land commissioners David Dewhurst, Garry Mauro and Jerry Patterson wrote in an op-ed. “The only remedy available to you then would be a suit against the adjacent upland landowner. But who wants to bring their lawyer on a trip to the beach?”
State Sen. Mayes Middleton once again has altered a beach bill opponents worried would erode rights afforded by the Open Beaches Act, this time removing language that had inspired intense objection.
Middleton called The Daily News on Wednesday to answer questions about the third presentation of what originally was Senate Bill 434. That bill worried beach advocates and motivated three former Texas Land Office commissioners to pen an opinion piece opposing it, leading Middleton to withdraw SB-434 and go back to the drawing board.
He filed SB-2550 March 10, inspiring more objection, although directed mostly at a single paragraph Middleton now has removed.
Mayes Middleton SB 2550
it's really sad what they have done, and are doing to our beach's, pay per view, and we can't even go to Murdoch's anymore, without opening up an account with the city to pay for parking, can't just put a dollar or two in the meter anymore. very sad. we just don't go anymore, not even to the Strand, and we use to love to go down there and shop and visit. not anymore. but that's just us. i have heard that the West end of Galveston, down by the Pass, it's bad there too, and getting worse. we still have our memories though, they have not started charging us for that...yet.
