Magnolia Beach Park

I heard of this beach when I was looking for an investment property. I grew more and more curious and finally my husband and I drove out in January. The beach is not large and it's made up of sand and tiny sea shells so I recommend wearing shoes for both swimming and walking on the beach. There are plenty of fishing piers so if you like to fish, you're going to like it here but the beach also has a swimming section and that's where all of the campers and RV's were at. Honestly it felt like a private beach. There were no huge crowds to have to deal with, but then again it's January so that's probably the reason, but it felt very peaceful and calm. There is no fee to enter, no fee to park, and you can stay on the beach for up to two weeks at no cost to you. For us it was the perfect shot of vitamin sea that we needed and we look forward to going back real soon. I'll update my review if the summer experience changes anything.

This was our first time at Magnolia Beach. And our first time boondocking. We never wanted to leave! It was wonderful, not too full but for us, the water was too cold. We plan to go back soon. There was a dump station with potable water close, which was nice. There were some campers dumping Grey water on the sand, which is gross. There did not seem to be any rangers to keep people from doing this, and the smell was awful. Otherwise, the water was clean and the beaches were great. Loved it!

This a great boondocking destination. Free and very clean. We have been here a few times stayed 3 nights at the most you can run your generator easily when needed. Of course can be crowded on the weekends but have really nice close camping next to the ocean. Town not very far away small burger joint near the beach and a store a mile away.

This is an absolute beautiful place to boondock it's on the bay. So unlike the beach you don't have to worry about the tides, you can fish, it's a hard shell beach so there's limited sand. They say it's a 14-day limit but I've not seen that enforced. Remember you'll need to park perpendicular to the shore.

Peaceful with a small town feel to it. Seem very relaxed and enjoyable. Not to busy, good for families. Restrooms available. I recommend you fill up with gas at the Shell station about 20 minutes before you arrive there. I would also bring your own snacks and drinks in a cooler.

It's very peaceful during the week, really enjoy it, the weekend you get lots of party people down on the beach, there are trash cans everywhere, ( so people, please use them ), keep this beach beautiful. The only bad thing this time there was one camper near the water, there sewage was running out all over the ground, that's why I am giving Magnolia beach three stars.

The water is perfect temperature, despite it being 87 and cloudy. Not too busy and everyone was friendly! It's a natural shell beach so I'd suggest wearing sandals in the water or stepping carefully. You can drive all the way up to the water and they had canopies

I always enjoy coming to Magnolia Beach. I use it as a stopover on my way down to Mission Texas for the winter. It is always clean and has a high quality of camping Neighbors. But I believe that that is simply why I love camping. Campers are just good people! I have never met a bad camping neighbor yet! For the last couple of years since I have been retired I have been doing a lot of boondocking. Boondockers like myself are a slightly different breed than the ones that pursue the lifestyle of the high-end resorts. Yet, the fact still remains the same, they are no different. All campers are just simply good people as I find every one of them in my Journeys. I have owned and operated campgrounds for the last 25 years and could not wait to start full timing! Now I'm living the dream! Just the other night I walked over to visit a camper and was not allowed to leave until I was fed a full spaghetti dinner, my favorite! That's just the way campers are! Genuinely good people, I'd not be going out on a limb to say, the best! Have a fun and safe camping season Wherever Your Travels Take You, and enjoy the good life! Happy Camping! Jeff
