Surfside Pirate History

  Yet before these important events in Texas history there were Pirates in these here waters.  Infamous Privateers Jean Lafitte and Louis Michael Aury made these waters their home in the early 1800s. Rumors suggest that Jean Lafitte used the mouth of the Brazos as a rendezvous and buried treasure along its banks.  Pirates, smugglers and blockade runners braved the treacherous waters of San Luis Pass as a back door into Galveston Bay.  Surfside Beach and Brazoria County have 22 miles of beaches between the Brazos River and San Luis Pass.
