Riviera Beach, located on Farm Road and Baffin Bay in southern Kleberg County, originated as a vacation resort. Theodore Koch, who established the city of Riviera, purchased a piece of land ten miles away on Baffin Bay and started a resort community, which he named Riviera Beach. Riviera Beach connects with Loyola Beach just a few miles north, and for birders, this is where they will find Kaufer-Hubert Memorial Park.
