Beach Pocket Park — Attraction in Galveston

Great little beach! It's tucked away from all the crowds and there is not as much people (a good thing!). We always come here for our annual summer family vacation! My only frustration and disappointment is that everything is about MONEY- This year, we paid the one time entrance fee then after a while we had to go get ice and apparently they charged my mom a re-entrance fee despite our ticket being right smack dab there on our car dashboard!

The sun and humidity are like none other so bring lots of sunscreen, and perhaps an umbrella if it isn't too windy (it's usually really windy), and some camping chairs to sit in. Would definitely recommend this beach to anyone traveling or otherwise! The entrance fee was $12 on the day we went but...

Luckily for me, this time it seemed a bit cleaner. I did'n't have the pollution smell on me and it was enjoyable.

Maybe Texas is actually going to start caring about the beaches? But I don't think you should hold your breath.

If you go, this is...
