About This Beach
Boca Chica Beach in Texas offers a unique blend of natural beauty and industrial proximity. Visitors can drive directly onto the beach, enjoying the vast expanse of sand and the Gulf of Mexico. The beach lacks amenities like restrooms and lifeguards, fostering a more rugged, secluded experience with views of SpaceX's Starbase. Shelling is popular, but litter is a recurring concern.
