How to Find a Quiet Beach in Texas

With its rivers, lakes and a Gulf of Mexico coastline, it's not too difficult to find a quiet beach in Texas. Here are some starting points.

Instructions

1. If you are looking for a quiet beach in Texas, be sure to look at Mustang Island State Park in Port Aransas, Texas. It's easily reached from Corpus Christi and Padre Island and offers five miles of beaches. You will have plenty of room to find some quiet space all to yourself.

2. If you are looking for a quiet beach where you can fish but also have access to sea kayaking and sightseeing, consider a trip to the beach on South Padre Island--an easy drive from San Antonio.

3. In Johnson City, about 40 miles northwest of Austin, you'll find Pedernales State Park. You will not only have access to a quiet beach, but also to hiking, mountain biking and fishing as well as a number of other activities.

4. Looking for a beach where you can really get away from it all? Consider Boca Chica Beach. This beach has a great deal to offer and is located across the Rio Grande River from Mexico.

Tips & Warnings

• Most beaches are at their least crowded during the mornings and evenings, making it more likely that you'll be able to find a quiet spot.

• Many of the beaches along the Gulf are extremely popular during college spring break week; If you are looking to find a quiet beach, it's advisable to avoid that time frame.
