Texas Beach Hot Spots
Not to be ignored when thinking about a getaway to Texas is its many miles of shoreline along the Gulf of Mexico. Many people don't think about Texas as a beach hot-spot, but there are plenty of untarnished beaches along its eastern border greeting locals and vacationers alike. Even if you don't stay an entire week here, plan on spending many days relaxing and checking out the coast line. There are several pleasant surprises hidden along the Texas shores.
Corpus Christi is one of the more well-known destinations 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 array of sailboats as well, and many can be rented for a day or part of a day to go out on the gulf waters and enjoy 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 preserved and secluded. Individuals who get to go to the island discover it tough to explain, and several people cannot think of any other spot anywhere in the world to compare it to. If you're staying in Corpus Christi, make it a point to get out and see Padre Island.
Galveston is another great destination for beach-goers. The island is more commercialized than other pieces of the Texas coastline, but that also means there's more diversity and variety. The area offers not only great beaches, but a full culinary cross-section of fantastic restaurants for meals, plus excursions and tours of other area points of interest, both on land and water. Galveston offers more than just a beach for families that want to make a vacation stay in one particular place, it offers an adventure.
