Catch Some Rays on Texas Beaches
Not to be overlooked when thinking about a getaway to Texas is its many miles of shoreline along the Gulf of Mexico. A lot of individuals don't consider Texas as a beach hot-spot, but there are tons of untarnished beaches along its eastern side welcoming locals and tourists alike. Even if you don't commit a full week here, plan on spending many days relaxing and exploring the shore line. There are quite a few pleasant surprises hidden along the Texas shores.
Corpus Christi is one of the more common destinations that comes to mind when thinking of Gulf coast beaches. The area has mile after mile of white-sand beach, and the water is filled with sailboats. The marina in the city is home to quite a variety of sailboats as well, and many can be chartered for a day or part of a day to get 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 seashore that is properly maintained and secluded. Those who get to visit the island find it difficult to describe, and quite a few people cannot think of another spot anywhere in the world to compare it to. If you travel to Corpus Christi, make it a point to get out and see Padre Island.
Galveston is another great destination for beach-goers. The island is far more commercialized than other parts of the Texas shoreline, but that also means there's more diversity and selection. The area delivers not only great beaches, but a full culinary cross-section of fantastic restaurants for meals, plus excursions and tours of other area attractions, both on land and water. Galveston delivers more than just a beach for families that want to make a vacation stay in one particular place, it delivers an adventure.
