Things to do in Crystal Beach, Texas
The
Town
Create memories at this perfect beach house along the Bolivar Peninsula sandy beaches. You can rent a golf cart for a day or week and drive up and down the shore for a fun joy ride. You can also build a fire on the beach! Such a fun place to enjoy family time.
Things to do
There are two water parks in town, Fun Town Water Park and Fun Spot Water Slide. Stingray Marina is just a short drive and is a fun place to watch the water and see all the boats. There is also a great seafood restaurant there! The Golf Range is a perfect place to play some putt putt and have a yummy drink and bar food. Dannay's Donuts has fresh donuts and lunch. The Big Store is super close and is the main grocery store and a fun place just to walk around and shop! And if you want to take a day trip to Galveston Island the ferry is a fifteen to twenty minute drive that will take you over there.
