From Hobby or George Bush Airports:
Go south on I-45 to Beltway 8 (south of Houston). Go west
on the beltway to Hwy 288.
From Houston:
Take 288 south to Freeport.
Stay on 288 all the way past Dow Chemical into the town.
Watch the intersection of 288, 288B and 332. If you come from
Angleton (288B) you just go straight ahead. If coming from
Lake Jackson on 288 stay left. The left lane goes right (288)
and the right lane goes left to 332 (opposite of what you
would think).
When you get to the high school (on your left, stadium on
right) take a left at the light on to Second Street. Stay
on it to the end. Watch out for the traffic light in the middle
of downtown, it is on a pole on the side of the road and it
is easily missed.
Second street looks like it ends at the Sulfur warehouse but
it bends left and then goes over a levee that you can't see
over. Go ahead and take the road over the levee to the end.
When on the levee you can see some tanks in the distance.
Stanco is through the gate and the vessels are docked somewhere
on the short waterfront.
As the dock is a secure area, visitors must sign in and
out in order to get thru the gate and on the facility.
