About Crystal Beach, Texas

Back in the 60s all of the beaches from North Carolina to Mexico allowed cars on the beach; summer, winter, spring or fall, it didn’t matter. As more and more people started vacationing at the beach, it became necessary to eliminate this joyous pleasure except for a few beaches, very few.

Crystal Beach, Texas is one such beach. Vehicles are allowed to drive on, park and enjoy all 27 miles of coastal waters of the Bolivar Peninsula, which encompasses 27 miles of shoreline on the Upper Texas Gulf Coast. The beach in Crystal Beach Texas and on Bolivar Peninsula is one of a kind, and the last of its kind in many respects.

Vacationers can drive down to the beach, unpack the car and enjoy the day building sand castles, searching for shells and shark teeth, surf fishing, boogie boarding and more.  Setting up a BBQ for a cookout and building a fire is something else not allowed on most beaches, but is permissible in Crystal Beach. Easy access to the beach by most cross roads off Hwy 87 makes finding that perfect location to set-up for the day a worry free event.

This is important:  Make sure you purchase a yearly beach parking permit from any of the many local shops or stores on Bolivar or in Crystal Beach. The cost is around $15 for the year, and money well spent I assure you.

Vacation rentals in Crystal Beach range from small private homes to luxury multi-bedroom beachfront estates. The attractions in and around Crystal Beach are enjoyable and affordable. Some things like swimming in the surf, touring the historic refuge and wildlife sanctuaries are free. Other activities are nominal.

If you bring your family to Crystal Beach, leave the beach to the young adults as the night progresses. For the same reasons you might be attracted to the beach, there are others who find the same conveniences for hauling tents and firewood and kegs and fireworks. In other words, if you like to party, the beach at night, especially weekends, is the place to be!! During the week, however, you’re liable to be blinded by the super bright lights the surf fishermen bring down and attach to the bumpers of their trucks and while away the night swilling beer and fishing. Listen, if that’s fun for you, I’m good with it. Each to his own, but if you’re looking for a different vibe, know in advance that there is good and bad to be found at any vacation destination. That’s part of the fun, right?

So, come on down to Crystal Beach, Texas and chill out. It’s a low key vacation destination and the Bolivar Peninsula of Texas offers a wonderful time!
