Catch Some Rays on Texas Beaches
Not to be ignored when planning a getaway to Texas is its hundreds of miles of shoreline along the Gulf of Mexico. A lot of folks don't consider Texas as a beach hot-spot, but there are tons of pristine beaches along its eastern side welcoming locals and tourists alike. Even if you don't spend a complete week here, plan on spending several days relaxing and discovering the coast line. There are many pleasant surprises hidden along the Texas shores.
Corpus Christi is one of the more popular locations that will come to mind when thinking of Gulf coast beaches. The area has mile after mile of white-sand beach, and the water is scattered with sailboats. The marina in the city is home to quite an assortment of sailboats as well, and many can be rented for a day or part of a day to travel out on the gulf seas and appreciate the view or get some fishing in.
Just off the coast of Corpus Christi is Padre Island. This is a national beach that is properly maintained and remote. Individuals who get to pay a visit to the island find it hard to explain, and many people cannot think of another spot anywhere in the world to compare it to. If you visit Corpus Christi, make it a point to get out and see Padre Island.
Galveston is also a wonderful vacation spot for beach-goers. The island is a lot more commercialized than other pieces of the Texas shoreline, but that also means there's more diversity and variety. The area delivers not only great beaches, but a full culinary cross-section of wonderful restaurants for meals, plus excursions and tours of other area attractions, both on land and water. Galveston offers more than just a beach for families that want to make a vacation stay in a single place, it offers an adventure.
