Brazoria Beach

We boondocked here in February. We had a huge stretch of beach to ourselves. It's so quiet, clean, and calm. Really beautiful sunrises. We followed the directions on the reviews but entered at the #2 entrance. We're glad we missed the first entrance because after the second entrance the crowds really thinned out! I think the entrances go up to 4 or 5 for this beach. The sand is hard packed so really easy to drive on. We parked at a 45 degree angle to the water all the way against the dunes, it was perfect. The closest town with stores open during the winter is about 15-20 miles away. The whole beach is lined with vacation houses that were vacant during our stay, but I'm sure it's very different during the summer. I would definitely recommend camping here for a few days!! This view cannot be beat.

MILES of free beach. Hard packed so no worries to drive on.

What could be better than falling asleep to the sounds of waves outside your window and waking up to a sunrise over the water out your front door. Truly magical!

Internet and TV signal was perfect here so we were able work and watch the super bowl, literally 40 feet from the water line. 😍

This was a great place to spend the night. The crash of the waves lulled us to sleep. The beach was clean. We saw the local police drive by twice during our stay. There are a couple stores within walking distance. The best part of being here in the winter there were only two other campers on the beach. The sand is packed. We saw a large class cruise past us.

Very pleasant for a free beach. Constant security watching everyone, nearby stores, portable RR for those without RR's. Family friendly, miles of beach for plenty of campers to stay. Filled up with water, dump and cleaned nearby at Oyster Creek Rv for $10 (2815 FM 523 Road, Oyster Creek, TX 77541). Low internet signal but helped us to enjoy camping a lot better without it. Will be back soon for sure!

It was rainy and cloudy and cold when we got here. But there were few others on the beach, and far between. The beach is fairly flat. Better if you park parallel to the coast than perpendicular. We started out with the windshield view / perpendicularly and changed that after a could of days as the is a slight incline to the shore. There’s plenty of trash cans posted around. No potable water or restrooms. Just beach. The sand is hard packed and easy to drive on. We have a 23’ short skoolie conversion.

To get to the free beach go north on the islands main road (towards Galveston), go past all the houses and beach access signs in town. After the houses end on both sides (less then a mile north) there is a dark blue sign with white writing "Public Beach access 1". Turn right there and the beach is about a quarter mile straight in front. The beach is for vehicles one way only on packed sand. There is an exit further north (labeled as Public Beach Access 2". I am not sure, if there are any more. Almost any rig will fit on this beach. There are trash cans and Port-a-potties on the beach (not sure how clean they are and how often the trash is picked up). The next "normal" grocery store is on the mainland. The stores on the island close or have very much reduced hours in the off-season plus they have tourist prices. I recommend this beach from September through May. Reason being is that is was raining all weekend on Laborday and there were still lots of people thoughing it out. Since it is only 60 miles from the Houston area I can just imagine what it is like when school is out and the weather is good, lol.... At the right time this beach is probably pretty close to heaven....

We pulled into the beach access just east of Seaside. There is another access about 5 miles east of Seaside. The beach was hard packed sand with lots of room. There are trash cans all along the beach and it is fairly clean.

We had thunderstorms this morning with hard rain and the sand the remained firm. I asked locals and they said the beach was fine as long as there wasn’t really high tides which were not expected. There are lots of area to camp. The nearest camper wasabout 1/4 mile away from us.

Please clean up around your campsite. It is the least we can do as free campers to earn our keep. Take 30 minutes and police the area. I noticed signs along the beach where companies adopted a mile of beach.

Enjoy your stay!
