Meh. Its no longer a chill place to walk and pick up a few shells for friends back home. People comb the beach for profit super early. Otherwise not bad compared to beaches further north/east on the island. In its favour, its farther from the most touristy areas, and no parking fees. Galveston has become a pit. Dog-friendliness: Listed as dog-friendly, and correctly so. At least when we were there, there were no d-bags with off-leash, aggressive dogs.

Awesome little place. You do have to pay to park and hopefully the money goes to cleaning up the beach. Because we saw alot of glass and seashells.

Amazing how this beach has been transformed since the hurricane that went through and before the hurricane for that matter. A wonderful garbage program also. The sticker you have to buy really does help

A very pretty and easy spot for a picnic or a full on beach day. Drive right up and enjoy the water and sand. Its typically well maintained and feels safe. No public restrooms so make sure you plan for that.

Pretty little secluded beach area on Galveston Island. I love that we were able to drive our cars onto the beach and park them right by the shore. The waves are very small and the water was warm (in mid June). You can see lots of birds - seagulls and other larger birds that dive and swoop into the ocean to catch fish. The sun and humidity are like none other so bring lots of sunscreen, and perhaps an umbrella if it isnt too windy (its usually really windy), and some camping chairs to sit in. Would definitely recommend this beach to anyone traveling or otherwise! The entrance fee was $12 on the day we went but it fluctuates.

In the summer, the parking lot gets filled up pretty quickly. It was full before 11am when we arrived. We parked off to the right and had a short walk. It wasnt as crowded, but there is also nothing around the beach. So, pack everything you need and try not to get burned.

Love this pocket park. Sunny beach is more local than tourist, clean portable restrooms, $15 per car per entry during the summer season, free to enter in the off-season. Woodys restaurant and bar is located at the entrance, on 7 1/2 mile road, and is kid friendly. Large tidal pool directly opposite the ocean with some of the best shell pickings on the ocean side of the island.
