El Jardin Del Mar Beach
Top 4 in Top 10 Best Beaches Near Houston
El Jardin Del Mar Beach, which is only 33 miles from Houston, is one of the nearest beaches to the city. Even though it's a small beach in a residential area, it's a good day trip from Houston if you're short on time. Spend the morning sightseeing downtown Houston and the afternoon relaxing at the beach.
This is a wonderful, clean sandy beach that is mostly frequented by locals, therefore it is seldom crowded. Picnic tables, BBQ pits, and recreational areas are available in the green space around the beach. Because there are no facilities such as bathrooms or food, you should pack everything you need for the day. There is public parking nearby, as well as an access walkway that leads straight to the beach.
