Keaton Beach Fishing Weather & Tides

Fishing Keaton Beach

Keaton Beach is a handful of houses and a boat ramp on the Big Bend, and that is exactly the point — what it has is miles of shallow, grass-floored Gulf that hold trout and redfish year-round and fill with scallopers every summer. The water here is skinny for a long way out, so wind direction rules everything: a hard easterly can pull the flats down to nothing.

Local tip: Fish the flats on a rising tide, and watch the wind — an offshore blow strips the water off this coast.
