9 Best Beach Towns in Texas, According to Locals

"A remote, park-based beach offering an isolated outdoor adventure across more than a thousand acres, with opportunities for swimming, camping, birding, surfing, and fishing—and the dramatic backdrop of visible rocket launches from a nearby launch site. For a change of pace, nearby historic downtown areas and a regional zoo and museums provide additional cultural and educational outings." - 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.

Love Boca Chica beach! We come here every time we’re down here to visit family, and it’s beautiful. I’m also a fan of Space X so it’s great to see their progress on the way out here too. This trip there was a ton of shells, and the weather was perfect!

Very nice quiet beach. We were warned to bring bug spray but we were there in August and bugs weren't a problem, at least in the daytime. We saw some vehicles on the beach, but all 4wd or AWD. We did not chance getting our rental Camry struck in the sand

Very cool location, you drive next to SpaceX and have a great view of the launch facilities from the beach. Many shells on this beach.

I enjoyed my time at this beach. It is actually a pretty nice beach. Other than very large trash bins space out along the back of the beach there are no facilities, including bathrooms. It is very close to SpaceX facilities and driving through that to get to the beach means encountering a lot of large trucks and heavy construction equipment.

Great beach, super cool to drive by SpaceX! 4x4 makes it all accessible. Beaches were great, really chill, clear water, had a great day.

Went to see star base. Beach is large but has lots of washed up junk.

atmosphere was a little dull, but the weather was cloudy at the time, was a nice swim at the beach, but the current was strong.

You can drive and camp! 4x4 is a must. The beach is nice! It wasn't very busy when we visited late in the spring break season. Proximity to SpaceX is a bonus! Would love to have had time for beach fishing but hopefully next visit!
