Beach Conditions
Rips tides are very strong on Matagorda Beach. We experience a number of emergency situations each year.
If you’ll be visiting the beach –
- Know what to do if you are caught in a rip current
- Ensure anyone in your party that is not a strong swimmer is always wearing a life jacket
- Position your party away from the Pier. The Pier is a no swimming area. Individuals die each year from getting caught in currents near the pier.
Book the Hall
The MVFD Fireman’s Hall recently underwent updates making it a beautiful facility for events of all types.
In an Emergency
Dial 911.
The Bay City dispatchers will notify Matagorda or Selkirk volunteers of your location & need for assistance.
