Roy Harrington Beach unit is the coastal portion of the park, offering beach access between the Gulf of Mexico and the mainland marshes. Swimming in the marshes is not permitted due to the presence ofalligator s.The Marshlands unit is located in the inland
marsh es of southern Jefferson County, and is only accessible by boat. Many species of migratory birds stop in or pass through the park, and the Marshlands unit provides observation blinds for bird watchers.The park land was purchased from the
Planet Oil and Mineral Corporation andHorizon Sales Corporation in 1972, and opened in 1977.State Highway 87 has a missing portion, destroyed by 1989's Hurricane Jerry, starting west of the park's main entrance. Previous storms had eroded the beach, leaving the highway vulnerable to storm-generated surf.
In September 2005,
Hurricane Rita did extensive damage to Sea Rim State Park, forcing an indefinite closure. As of September 2008, the park remains closed.Three nearby national wildlife refuges on the Texas coast -
Brazoria N.W.R. , San Bernard and Big Boggy - form a vital complex of coastal wetlands harboring more than 300 bird species.cite web
