Guide
Good to know
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 5 visitors · 2017–2026
Good for families and swimmers
The water is calm and shallow for a considerable distance, making it suitable for children to swim and wade.
Visit on weekdays or off-season
Weekday evenings and September through mid-October offer peaceful, uncrowded experiences compared to summer weekends.
Obtain beach parking permit first
Purchase the $12 annual parking pass at HEB before arriving, as you'll need it to drive and park.
Bring high-clearance or 4x4 vehicle
Regular cars frequently get stuck in the soft, uncompacted sand; trucks and SUVs handle it much better.
Pack out all trash yourself
Bring trash bags as there are minimal trash cans on the beach and litter accumulates quickly.

Measured from OpenStreetMap, public aerial imagery and live conditions data, and counted from visitor reviews. Every source, in full.
