The Texas Beach and Bay Access Guide from the Texas General Land Office is designed to help the user locate a variety of public access sites, coastal state parks, and recreational areas along the Texas coast. This guide highlights the five areas that make up the Texas coast: Southeast Texas, Houston-Galveston, Golden Crescent, Coastal Bend, and the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Each section provides a brief description of the topography and primary recreation activities of each county, and includes location maps and recreational grids. Almost 360 access points to Texas bays and the Gulf of Mexico within the 18 counties in the coastal management zone are included here.
The maps show the general location of marinas; county, state and federal parks; boat ramps; and areas of recreational interest. Recreational grids provide information about available activities such as fishing, swimming, and picnicking, and amenities such as boat ramps and facilities that are accessible to people with disabilities. Some boat launching facilities may close during winter months. Restroom facilities vary considerably, and range from portable to modern structures. It is recommended that users of this guide call ahead to sites listed with phone numbers to get complete directions and any updates to site conditions.
