Crystal Beach – Texas – 100 miles
Another Place to check is the famous Crystal beach which is located in Bolivar Peninsula. If you are coming in your Car then do take the ferry route which is I 45 S if possible. The ferry is free and took our car to the bolivar peninsula from there crystal beach is around 10 miles from there. The ferry comes after every 15-20 min and it takes around 20 min to reach Bolivar Peninsula dock area. The main advantage in this trio was that you can directly take your vehicle to the beach. There are many activities also there do do. One important thing is to take the Beach Parking sticker and stick it to your car windscreen. You will find it in any general store there which costs us $10. It has a validity from Jan to Dec. So if you buy in Jan then till Dec you can go there with the same sticker. But if you buy in October than the validity is of 3 months only.
