9 Best Beach Towns in Texas, According to Locals

"Home to a long, uninterrupted stretch of National Seashore where visitors can enjoy miles of sparsely crowded beach, excellent beachcombing, and abundant fishing opportunities—trout and redfish in the bay and larger species such as red snapper, marlin, and amberjack offshore. Its proximity to regional hubs makes it a convenient day-trip destination, and there are plentiful condo rentals with resort-style amenities for longer stays." - Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel is a writer with more than eight years of experience editing and writing for both brands and online publications—with a particular focus on travel, fashion, and lifestyle.
