The Matagorda Peninsula (Script error: No such module "IPAc-en".[1]) is a narrow spit of land on the southeastern coast of Texas in the United States.[2]

The peninsula is in Matagorda County, Texas. The barrier island lies between Matagorda Bay, an estuary, and the Gulf of Mexico. The Texas Gulf Coast island has a water exchange of two to five tidal inlets suspending the tides in marginal sea. The Matagorda Ship Channel located on the peninsula produces a substantial tidal range of seawater bearing north-south of the barrier island.[3]
