Bee Statues

There are dozens of bee statues floating around Bee County! The statues were created as a fundraiser by the Coastal Bend College Foundation to support students of CBC. Each business or individual who purchased a bee had the opportunity to design - or even paint - their own statue; so each bee has its own unique personality. Artists from the college donated their time to each creation & you can find the signature of the artist hidden under the belly of the bee! Take a tour of Beeville and see how many you can find!

Geocaching

Why not try Geocaching? Not sure what it is: "Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location."

It's free to join & is a great individual or family fun event!

Rock Painting

Rock Painting is a fantastic way to be creative and put a little fun back into the world. It's great because it doesn't matter whether or not you are a good artist - just paint something that makes you happy! Once your artwork is complete hide your creation somewhere around town for another person to find. You can also scour the city to find the work of others!
