Texas is one of 5 (Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida) Gulf States that have a shoreline on the Gulf of Mexico. If you have been following my blog these past 9 years, you know that I spend A LOT of time in my beautiful Texas coastal area.
Here are some great winter and spring events in Aransas Pass, Corpus Christi, Galveston, Port Aransas, Rockport and South Padre Island. (Love the beach? Check out 8 Texas Beaches to Visit.)
