Heading to Galveston area for work in November.
Looking for recommendations as to which beaches to go to and thong friendly hotels/resorts to stay at.
I’m not opposed to driving down to South Padre Island for a couple of days if it is nicer there than Galveston.
Also, unless some random cold front moves in…would it be safe to say to expect temps around high 70s/low 80s?
I go to Galveston all the time. Thongs have never a been a problem at anyplace I’ve gone this includes best western, wyhndam hotels or any hotel on the seawall. Ive walked around in a swim thong all over. It just depends on what you are comfortable with. but no one there actually cares. You might get a few honks or smirks.
Thank you for the feedback. My only hesitation on Galveston is I heard the water is kinda, murky and gross. That’s why I was thinking of driving toward South Padre.
I live north of Houston and don’t go to Galveston often. When I do it is East Beach. Lot 1a. This area is removed from the crowds but popular with thongers of all persuasions.
TXMicro- what is your preferred beach to visit on the Gulf coast?
Galveston is downstream from very industrial areas of the Houston ship channel and numerous petrochemical facilities. But the main reason for murky water on the Texas coast is the clay content of the soil. That said I do not get in water where I can’t see my feet on the bottom.
Keep in mind the poem, “The sun is riz, the sun is set, we ain’t out of Texas yet.”. Texas is a big place, Houston to South Padre Island is a VERY long drive.
best western east beach is very tolerant I’ve thonged there just a few weeks ago. Not an issue
