Port Arthur

Port Arthur has served as a Gulf Coast port in southeast Texas since the late 19th century. Set on Sabine Lake near the Louisiana border, it forms part of the Sabine-Neches Waterway, a commercial route linking inland industry with the Gulf of Mexico. Oil refining and shipping have long shaped its waterfront and regional economy. The Museum of the Gulf Coast covers the area’s maritime, petroleum and music heritage; Port Arthur was also the birthplace of singer Janis Joplin. Sea Rim State Park adds salt marshes and Gulf beaches to the surrounding coast. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Port Arthur and the Texas Gulf Coast.
