The Gulf Coast boasts over 350-miles of shoreline, with dozens of beaches stretching from the north of Galveston all the way to South Padre Island, where you will be able to spend the day swimming, fishing, and sunbathing. If you are located inland, you can take advantage of the different freshwater swimming holes whose waters offer refuge from hot and humid temperatures.
