Texas Coast (Beaches)

[NLINE SIXX]

Can anyone tell me what beaches along the Texas coast allow MD and which ones are off limits. May be planning a vacation later on this year and sure do not want to brake the rules.

I know that Galveston is cool, Padre Island is not.

Cap Z I not sure I believe you about not trying that before. That's a pretty creative idea.

Did some research--the posession or use of MD's on the Padre Island National Seashoe park IS prohibbited. However--the city of Port Aransas informs me that no such restrictions apply on their beaches--just common sense stuff--ie.--fill your digs--cover your tracks, ect.
Hope this helps--HH

Thanks for the info Texas Hunter, funny thing though I have been off this site for awhile now and received a email as a reminder. I am planning a trip to Galveston this summer for my daughters wedding. We had though about making a vacation out of it also so this may give me the chance to ketch back up on my MD the Texas coast line.

I like the fishing bucket Idea, might have to try that one, I can always explain that I was just locating the fish that got away with my hook in its mouth

I know that I have seen & talked to alot of folks that used to work the beach from San Louis pass, Surfside,Quintana, and Brian Beach's all the way to Sargent beach with no problems or limits.. You might get a local map(Brazoria county)to find alot of the rat trails back to some of the most secluded places that you might want to try..Also all up and down the Intracoastal canal there are alot of burms (settlement Ponds) where the Army Corps of Eng pumps all of the silts and debris out of the canal,I have found a few intresting things over the years..I run across folks out in the middle of nowhere doing my thing and they are always friendly and like the company in passing.. They have started enforcing laws regarding 4wheelers and the dunes(erosion) so you might be carfull with that but there are still alot of places to ride and access... Good luck ...Mike
