Crystal Beach

Crystal Beach is a long beach in the eastern suburbs of Houston, Texas. Like everywhere in the Gulf of Mexico, there are sand dunes almost everywhere, and the water is muddy, shallow and with strong waves most of time. However, this is a very positive place, where you can swim, or at least walk and do fishing. The only bad thing is about notorious cars with loud music, running along the coastline. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

The fares for house rental near Crystal Beach start from $250 per night (up to 8-12 persons). In addition, the beach camping is permitted. So in a theory it is possible to spend a night in your own tent and to make BBQ on the open fire. But it is hard to imagine, how rich Texas citizens can stay in a tent for a long time.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Houston international airport (IAH). Get by car via Winnie, or take a shorter route via Galveston (ferry to Bolivar peninsula is cheap, but not frequent).

When to go [edit]

The best time for a beach holiday in Crystal Beach is a warm period from May to October. Of course, this is a hurricane season, and it is very hot that time. But on the other hand, sea water is very cold in the winter half of the year.
