Pleasure Island Gives Port Arthur a Front Porch on Sabine Lake

Pleasure Island gives Port Arthur a public waterfront on Sabine Lake. Lakefront Park, Logan Music Park, the Island Disc Golf Course, the RV park area, a marina, and a bird blind all sit there.

The piers are the simple pleasure here. Port Arthur describes about a mile of them, with views over Sabine Lake. It feels different from Sea Rim's Gulf beach or the working port: a place to walk, fish, or sit by the water close to town.

For a local page, that matters. Jefferson County is industrial and coastal at once, and Pleasure Island lets both things sit in the same view.
