Have an amazing time visiting Texas!
1.) Boca Chica Beach
Boca Chica Beach is the right place for a totally laid-back and chilled trip to the Gulf Coast of Texas. Nestled within Brazos Island State Park it’s one of the best beaches in Texas to visit that’s got something extra, too!
You see, just shy of Boca Chica Beach is the SpaceX Launch Facility which is pretty epic to see.
Now, Just remember, Boca Chica Beach (including Del Mar Beach) might be quite quiet in terms of facilities. I mean, you’re not going to find piers, beach bars or restaurants nearby.
That being said, this long stretch of sand is well worth visiting if you’re looking for a totally quiet beach and picnics.
Also, if you’re an early riser, Boca Chica Beach is one of the best places to watch the sunrise.

2.) Padre Island National Seashore
Not too far from Corpus Christi, Padre Island National Seashore is a long ‘spit’ of an island that’s totally beautiful to visit in Texas.
Honestly, it’s the kind of place that’s great for kayaking, swimming and windsurfing – as long as you’re a pro at this. Remember, the waves and currents can be strong here.
That being said, there is a visitor centre that’s always worth checking out to see local conditions. Plus, you can learn about local wildlife, and park rangers can tell you the conservation efforts they have during public sea turtle hatchling releases.
Oh, and if you fancy a stroll, head on the Grasslands Nature Trail that meanders across Padre Island.
This all being said, if you don’t fancy leaving Corpus Christi, head over to McGee Beach that’s right in the city itself.
