Things to do
Family fun at Crystal Beach
If the beach isn't an all-day event, there are plenty of ways to add a little variety to your vacation. Challenge the kids to a round or 2 at the Gulf Range, an 18-hole mini-golf course that celebrates all things Lone Star State. Cool down afterward with a trip to the Fun Town Water Park, where 2 giant slides and a lazy river offer up endless fun over the summer. And, for a culture fix, squeeze in a trip to historic Fort Travis, where the views of Bolivar Point Lighthouse from atop the fort's bunker are nothing short of memorable.
Activities
Choose your pace at Crystal Beach
Blissful days on the beach come easy here. Locals and vacationers alike are often seen on the sand from the early hours, some hunting for shells and others hoping to add to their collection of sea beans and shark teeth. Tidal treasures aside, Crystal Beach offers a range of activities, from boogie boarding to sandcastle building. If you're keen to haul in the catch of the day, you can do so right at the water's edge or at the nearby North Jetty. Barbecuing your catch on the beach serves up the perfect end to a perfect day.
Weather
Visit Crystal Beach all year round
With a pleasant climate all year round, there's never really a bad time to set up camp in a Crystal Beach vacation rental. The summer months of June through September serve up temperatures in the 80s Ñ perfect if you're dead set on showing off a glorious tan when you get back home. Over the winter months of December through February, temperatures drop to around 50 to 60 degrees, still plenty warm enough to enjoy strolls along the beach, crabbing with the kids and trips to the museums along the coast.
