Four great destinations. All within easy driving distance.
The full beach experience. 32 miles of Gulf shoreline, world-class seafood, major attractions, and everything from budget to luxury. If you want amenities and a real overnight getaway, this is your destination.
Authentic Texas beach culture — raw, uncrowded, and free. Drive your truck onto the sand, fish from the surf, and let your dogs run loose. The free Galveston-Bolivar ferry is half the fun.
27 miles of undeveloped coastline, world-class birding at High Island, and Civil War fort ruins at Fort Travis — right on the beach. Take the free ferry from Galveston to get there.
The underrated gem. No ferry, no toll roads, less crowded than Galveston, dog-friendly, and free parking. Bryan Beach State Park is just minutes away.
