Jamaica Beach

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Beautiful beach area with the most gorgeous views. There are designated areas where you can enter with your car and other areas where you can park. It is a great spot for long walks on the beach and soaking up some sun and feeling the ocean breeze. Much less crowded then some of the other areas whic...

πŸ‘πŸ‘ You can drive straight into beach. Beach is fairly harden sand so many cars are parked right by the water. Visited for new year sunrise 1/1/2022. Many crowds but not busy nor loud. I enjoyed quiet first sun rise of the year.

Matagorda Beach

😐 Beach has its days. Very dangerous riptide and not always feasible to drive on. Sand is really loose, preferably 4x4! Also have to drive several miles back to get to a store. Fishing pier is also not functional and hasn't been for a while due to lack of maintenance. Does however have a nice picnic...

πŸ‘ Nice place to spend your evening time. Note that there is no restrooms in these beach access points and no coast guards. If you want all facilities head over to island state park of Galveston.

Surfside Beach
Public beach
πŸ‘ It's a really crowded beach got there at 9:30 was already pretty packed. In the afternoon it was even worst our tent got surrounded by cars which needed someone to move their car to be able to get out. The sand is silky smooth, yet the water is muddy and not clear. It's a family hangout beach and re...

Brazoria County Beach Free Camping
Public beach
πŸ‘πŸ‘ This is an excellent Beach. The seventy-two hour camping option is perfect. Free sites, just park along the dunes. I was a little nervous as high tide approached, but the area where we where parked was fine. The waves stopped just below us. I love that you can still have campfire here.

Sylvan Beach, La Porte
Public beach
πŸ‘πŸ‘ I absolutely loved it!!! It's such a beautiful place, with nice views of the ocean and massive cargo ships. Being from Oklahoma we don't get to see nature at its best, I'd make that 7 hour drive anyday. Only real issue I had was not being able to swim out deep enough but being a regulated beach i ca...

Palacios Bay Beach

πŸ‘πŸ‘ I love Palacios. It takes you back in time, the people are so friendly, and relaxing is in the air. The bay beach is small, but clean. It is never crowded at all. If the beach isn't your thing, take a relaxing stroll down the seawall.
