The Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge is part of the Texas Mid-coast National Wildlife Refuge Complex, which includes Brazoria, San Bernard and Big Boggy National Wildlife Refuges. Alvin is the perfect location to stay for those looking to venture out into the wildlife refuge, Galveston bay, or the Houston area. We offer smalltown charm with outlets to the beautiful nature around us. The Refuge Headquarters, located off of FM 2004, is where the business of the refuge is conducted. Refuge brochures and information, as well as access to the Otter Slough boardwalk, are available at the headquarters.
