Michael J. Ellis Beach and Seawall
Park
👍👍 We found this beach just by driving around. Lots of parking, restrooms, and outdoor shower/rinse area.
The beach has great space, smooth sand, and the water was pretty clean. There was no lifeguards, as well as no shade.
It wasn't crowded either, well not during the weekday we went on.
Beach is g...

Mustang Island State Park Office
Park
👍👍 You can camp here. The limit the number of visitors and vehicles. The views are pretty and they have plants I have never seen. ‘railroad vine’ was my favorite.
Most of the beaches you can see the stars well at night in these areas.
Just be careful for cars or drunk drivers on the public beaches. P...

Park
👍👍 To be fair, we haven't been to a splash pad before. But this was enough for my water baby (Scorpio) to call a "water park" and was super excited the whole time. The whole layout is adorable, with different levels of water spraying. The main event is the giant peppermint that fills up with water a...

Lakeview Park
Park
👍👍 A GREAT LITTLE PARK!
I always love coming here!
Tip: walk around the pond towards the side opposite of the parking lot. 10/10 the best part of the park, less people, less seagulls, and less mud. It’s a great little date or picnic spot if you don’t mind the occasional goose trying to steal your food...
