Decent beach that's all the way down on the east end. I keep reading that this place was a "hidden gem", but I lived and went to school in Galveston and I always thought everyone knew about this spot. The great thing about this beach is that there's plenty of parking, there's volleyball courts, showers, concessions where you can buy alcohol, and there's an umbrella/canopy rental place. The beach is also pretty clean, and there's trash cans everywhere. You can also bring your own stuff including alcohol, but we weren't allowed to set up our beach tent to the canopy we rented; kind of odd. As far as parking, you can park for free right outside the gate, but your walk to the beach will be longer. Might be difficult if you have alot of things to drag. Parking around $12 and will put you closer to the shore.Overall a nice beach to go to if in Galveston. Only gripe is that the shower area was not that clean and there were wasps flying around.

I took off one star because they are very restrictive about allowing you to bring your own sunshade. But they have facilities and plenty of parking.

Read the reviews in Trip Advisor and apparently this beach is a bit of a hidden gem for the locals. We drove past Stewart beach and that place looked packed! Keep driving until you see the sign for East beach entrance 1. It loops around behind the condos but takes you to the free parking which is right next to the paid parking. From this parking lot, it's a quick walk to the beach. If you walk towards the right, it's a less packed. We went on a Saturday and was pleasantly surprised to find it not too busy. Heads up, there doesn't appear to be a place to rinse off or rent chairs.

Great beach!!! Not nearly as busy as Stewart Beach or the Seawall. We got a free beach wheelchair rental for our daughter, and she had such fun in it! No jellyfish, very little seaweed. Clean bathrooms, although they lacked soap. Outdoor showers.
