Lighthouse Beach Details
This family-friendly beach is a hidden gem along Lavaca Bay. Not only is there a wide stretch of sandy shoreline (which is ideal for building sandcastles), but you will also find a kid's playground and splash pad. Adults will also find something to enjoy here, whether it's relaxing under a thatched roof palapa umbrella or taking a leisurely walk along the boardwalk. In addition, there is also a fishing pier and bird walk, where you can enjoy the native wildlife while soaking in the stunning water views. The beach also has its own RV park, in case you're looking to bring your trailer for an overnight stay.
