Magnolia Beach Details

20 minutes south of Port Lavaca is this small slice of peaceful paradise. It caters to day-trippers and RV travelers, as you can park your trailer within several feet of the water. Waking up to the lapping of ocean waves right outside your window makes this one of the most tranquil beaches you will find along the Gulf Coast. This is a very primitive beach, so do not expect any modern amenities like restaurants or shops. However, there are decent camping bathrooms and showers if you're planning to spend the night. As long as you bring enough food and water for your trip, you can unwind and enjoy the relaxing ocean breeze in solitude.
