Why isn't Texas a (famous) beach destination?
July 27, 2023 by Caspian Fairweather
In my latest exploration, I pondered why Texas isn't renowned as a beach destination. Despite having 367 miles of coastline, Texas beaches lack the tropical allure found in Florida or California. Issues like brownish water due to silt from the Gulf of Mexico, seaweed, and occasional jellyfish are deterrents. The beaches also seem to lack the infrastructure and amenities found at more popular beach destinations. Though Texas has some unique coastal gems, they're just not as widely recognized or sought after.
