Some people may not know it, but Texas has some great beaches, especially for skimboarders. We are going to go through some beaches that all skimboarders have to visit before they grow old and leave this world.

Corpus Christi/Padre Island National Seashore: This beach is located just off Padre Island in South Texas. This beach is huge and long at over 70 miles long and is a great place for skimboarders. It is not very developed and has an enormous amount of nature. This beach is also a great place to camp. This park also has some great dunes and sand. This place is also famous for windsurfing.

Galveston Island: This island is 27 miles long and more than 3 miles wide. This island used to be the home of the Native Americans. This island is also where the largest American natural disaster ever recorded in history occurred. 6,000 people lost their lives in 1900 because of a hurricane. There are a few beaches for skimboarding, but mostly it’s a great place to visit because of its history.

Mustang Island/Port Aransas: This island is located just southeast of Corpus Christi. This place has some very interesting landscapes and great beaches for skimboarding. This island is 18 miles long and looks almost like a strip of bacon from the air.

South Padre Island – This beach has been a popular vacation spot for many years due to a resort on the island and its beautiful beaches. South Padre is a barrier island, meaning it is a relatively narrow strip of sand that runs parallel to the mainland shoreline.

Anyone who lives in Texas or neighboring states knows how popular Corpus Christi is and how wonderful the beaches can be. Skimboarding and summer are just around the corner.

Skimboarders, wax your boards and get them ready to hit the waves, summer will be here before you know it.
