"Visit the Ocean" Galveston / Galveston Bay Tip by AVG2319
Galveston / Galveston Bay, Houston: 7 reviews and 9 photos
Drive down 288 until you can't go anymore, through Freeport,TX there is a lovely spot of raw ocean beach. The road ends and while you drive out onto the sand it almost looks like you are driving straight into the ocean for a moment. Park and have fun away from all the tourists! Our kids have a blast here-hardly anyone around and who knew you could drive right up next to the ocean. There was a semi cab parked next to us. I have been to every ocean in the US and have never seen this, but on the other hand it is not crowded with people here and the water is warm even in October. It was fun.
If this is not your style you can drive up Seawall Blvd towards Galveston-there is plenty of places there to see the ocean and get your feet wet. It is actually a quiet ride and you get to look at all those houses on stilts on the way too.
Beaches are not resort style-don't expect this and you won't be disappointed. Warm Water, Sand,a nice breeze, and a long pier = fun.
