Re: Best 'beach' sites

Because of the curvature of the TX coast and the prevailing currents, we get a lot of garbage both natural (seaweed) and man-made on the upper coastline. The big ocean-going tankers dump their trash at-will. This is not to say that other parts of the coast don't get trash. But it seems the farther south you go the better the situation gets. :cool:

I know at South Padre Island the early morning dozers grade the beaches clean in front of the touristy hotels. I don't know about the open beaches directly north of there. :confused:
