Natural beach on the Texas Gulf near Corpus Christi. Seaweed abounds both on the beach and in the water. Didn't seem very crowded when we went in July, especially if you travel down the beach and use a primitive camping site. It is a natural beach, lots of seaweed to contend with, but still plenty of open, gloriously fine, deep, sandy beach to spread out in. Bring your own shade as there is none. Don't worry about bugs, but be prepared for plenty of little crabs, seagulls, and the possibility of stingray and jellyfish in the water. There is some litter on the beach so please clean up after yourself and even pick up some already standing trash if you come across it. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable natural beach.
Interesting stop full of history. Not a whole lot to see once inside but definitely worth a quick walk through if you're already in San Antonio.
Great for a goofy photo op, easy to get to, and not far from a really great city with an awesome downtown - New Braunfels
Interesting story but not much to see.
