Often overlooked in favor of coastal hotspots, Texas's Gulf Coast boasts 3,359 miles of shoreline. Traveling to this region reveals its rich history, culture, and natural beauty. A road trip showcases significant cities like Houston and San Antonio, along with smaller towns and state parks. New developments, like the stylish Hotel Lucine in Galveston, enhance the coastal experience. Personal anecdotes highlight nostalgic charm and family memories, emphasizing the area’s ability to attract modern-day travelers seeking unique seaside adventures.
Last April, my mother and I drove 369 miles of the coastline to rediscover the history, culture, and natural wonders it has to offer.
On our first day in Galveston, as we walked Seawall Boulevard overlooking Pleasure Pier at sunset, my mom recalled her last trip to the island in the mid-1970s.
