Where to go for a beach without college kids?

Where would you suggest for a nice beach for spring break without college kids?

Where to go for a beach without college kids?

In Texas? When are you planning to go? Some weeks are going to have larger college crowds than others. Generally, avoid South Padre Island in March if you want to avoid college spring breakers. Other places further up the coast (Port Aransas, Corpus Christi, Galveston) may be less crowded, but there may also be less to do in terms of activities and it%26#39;s not quite as warm.

Where to go for a beach without college kids?

There%26#39;s a little beach that I used to go to near Bay City at the mouth of the Colorado. There%26#39;s only one, small road there, it%26#39;s very pretty, and there are usually not many people. It%26#39;s out of the way, but it%26#39;s also very secluded and I really doubt that you%26#39;d see many college kids.

From Austin, you can take 71 east (actually, south) almost to Palacios, turn north/east (left) on FM 521, then south (right) on Highway 60 and, in Matagorda, follow the signs to FM 2031, which follows the river to the beach.

If you really want desolation and don%26#39;t mind the trouble of getting there, you can also take a ferry from Port O%26#39;Connor (near Port Lavaca) to Matagorda Island. No roads though.

Another option is Cameron, Louisiana, which doesn%26#39;t have the nicest beaches, but is pretty much college kid-free.

I prefer Port Aransas, but it has become a major spring break destination for kids. Try Surfside Beach, it%26#39;s family oriented, and has lots of beach house rentals right on the sand.

Can you camp on the beach near Matagorda/Colorado River mouth on FM2031? If yes, are there any restrictions and/or costs? Thank you.

If you want to miss the college kids, then head out to the National Seashore to Malaquite beach, nice clean beach %26amp; clean restrooms - not skid-o-cans.

The Padre Island National Seashore and Malaquite Beach are part of a National Park that stretches for almost 100 miles south from Corpus Christi. There are no condominiums or developments of any kind because it is a park. You can overnight there, but most students avoid it because all the fun is along Mustang Island and South Padre Island.
