Showers, changing cabins, places for picnic and grill, and most importantly - the lack of cars on the coastline - this is the Galveston State Island Park. (Thanks to my friend who gave me the tip about this place). The sand is so dark, small/dusty so after swimming in the ocean, the swimsuits look very dirty, and grains of sand stick together with salt tightly to the body. Without a shower you can become a stalactite. So the presence of fresh water on the beach for me was one of the main factors. Because last year, we carried a gallon of water per person to rinse and even wash off a little salt from ourselves.
