re: Why isn't Texas more known for beaches?

Galveston is like the Louisiana beaches

Not exactly but pretty close.

We went to Kemah/Galveston area this past summer. The allure definitely is not the beaches. We stayed at a house on the Bay a little south of Kemah. It had a pier into the bay with lights for night fishing which was incredible....my nephew caught one of the biggest specs I've ever seen personally and I've fished a good bit out of Venice and Grand Isle.

We did other things that were fun for the kids but honestly it was a pretty relaxing 5 night getaway. I'd do it again. We rented a boat one day and scooted around Clear Lake and Galveston bay....that's when we did most of the swimming. There was a swimming hole in the Clear Lake area that was filled with boats....it was pretty fun everyone was swimming, drinking, partying, and playing music. The kids loved it.
