Read moreDon't waste your time going here. I honestly don't get the appeal of going here. Is it because it is free? Construction all around so took awhile to get to. The sand is filled with seaweed, rocks and broken sea shells, they have no bathrooms or showers, and the parking is very small and in a dirt lot with holes that make it hard to drive around. The water was impossible to enjoy. The waves were massive and pounding against you and knocking you over. Within a matter of a few feet from shore you are in water up to your chest. Hundreds of jellyfish also around. My kids were scared to swim there because of all the jellyfish and huge waves. Was disappointed that the other reviews suggested this beach. We drove a few miles away to the Island and the beaches over there are a night and day difference. The sand there is gorgeous and soft. The water is crystal clear and can walk a hundred yards out and still be touching. Didn't see any jellyfish on the Island. Can drive right onto beach and eat, drink, camp and have fires. Also have adequate bathrooms and showers on the Island. It's worth the extra time and $12 permit to go to the beaches...
Read moreNorth Beach is a nice beach. It’s close to USS Lexington museum and Texas State Aquarium.
There are a few ways to access the beach:
Drive on the sand and find a parking spot with direct access to North Beach (which is what my family chose)… although it will be a rough ride due to the huge mounds in the sand
Park near the museum or aquarium for $5 and walk to the beach after you visit the other attractions
Street parking (pay via meter)
Book a hotel or rental home with direct access to the beach (there are many)
Jellyfish ruined our beach day (my toddler almost touched one and there are no signs posted)
Bring your own tents and chairs. There is a cute shop nearby with reasonably priced beach items in case you forget.
Bring your cooler and snacks. There are food trucks posted at the beach if you forget that too.
I would definitely visit again! But I’d prepare a little more so we’d have a...
