Crystal Beach Details
Located on the stunning 27-mile stretch of the Bolivar Peninsula, this beach is a desirable place to spend a lazy afternoon. You will be spoiled for choice when it comes to outdoor activities, both on land and in the water. With 7 miles of sandy shoreline, you can choose if you want to mingle with the crowds or find a secluded spot to sunbathe in privacy. The fishing here is some of the best in the country. You can fish straight from the beach, from one of the piers or jetties, or even at a designated fishing spot like Rollover Pass. You will also find several different charter companies that book day trips where you can do more deep-sea fishing. After a long day at the beach, head to one of the local restaurants and bars lining the coast. Whether you are looking for a fresh seafood diner or a rowdy pub with live music, you will have no problem finding a spot to spend the evening.
