Boondocking on the beach, Brazoria County, Texas
For the next few days, we are boondocking on the beach just south of Galveston, TX. Beautiful beaches, soothing ocean waves, unbelievable views, and it’s free. What more could you ask for?
I’m laying in bed writing this while Sherry takes a nap. It’s taking me forever to write it because I keep looking out the window to see this:
It turned cloudy right after we got here but it’s 76 degrees. We are supposed to get some rain tonight, but it should clear up tomorrow.
There are a few other campers here, but not many. The closest one is 100+ yards away. I find it hard to believe it’s not more crowded. There are many campgrounds in the area that are nearly full.
The wind is blowing pretty strong now, but I think that is normal around here.
Since it’s our first time camping on the beach, we timed it so we got here when it was high tide so we know where it is safe to park.
We found several Jellyfish high and dry on the beach. We don’t know if this is normal, or they got stranded somehow? So I picked up a few of them and rescued them. As soon as they hit the water they disappeared into the ocean. I’m not sure if this was the right thing to do it not. Below are several pictures of one of the rescues.
There are several nice houses just on the other side of the dunes along the beach.
But there are still a few in need of repair presumably from the hurricane.
So for the next few days, we will be boondocking on the beach. You might not be hearing much from us. But you can bet, as the Zack Brown Band song says we’ll have our toes in the water, ass in the sand, Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand
Life is good today, life is good today…
One thought on “Boondocking on the beach, Brazoria County, Texas”
I forgot to mention, for anyone interested in camping here; Verizon, and AT&T have good coverage, usually 2 or 3 bars and no dropped calls. OTR Mobile was also good with 35.2 Mbps download and 21.2 Mbps upload speeds.
