Engulf Your Senses in Texas

More than 600 miles of coastline are just waiting to show you a mighty fine time in the Lone Star State

If you think the Texas Gulf Coast offers nothing but beaches, you’re in for quite a surprise. From battlegrounds to astronauts, museums to fine dining and a host of natural wildlife, this region offers so much more than just lazy days in the sun.

You won’t have to miss out on the Western side of Texas while enjoying the Gulf. Head to Kingsville, the birthplace of the American ranch industry, and visit King Ranch. Take a tour of this working ranch; with over 825,000 acres, there will be more than enough to explore.

The Houston metropolitan area has options to suit every interest. Delights abound in the nation’s fifth largest museum district, with the Museum of Fine Arts a must-see on any art lover’s list. NASA/Space Center Houston offers a day chock full of excitement learning about the US space program. And when you’re done, wander back into town to indulge your shopping habit at the Houston Galleria.

Of course, we won’t turn you away if you just want to enjoy our sandy beaches and relaxing Gulf waters. Visit the world’s longest stretch of undeveloped barrier-island beach at North Padre National Seashore. Enjoy a stay in Corpus Christi, one of Texas’ deep-water ports and home to the USS Lexington and Texas State Aquarium. Come celebrate Mardi Gras in Port Arthur or Galveston.

Wherever you roam, a vacation to Texas stays with you, long after you’ve returned home.

With so many ways to experience Texas, vacationing here is unforgettable. And now it’s easy, too. We have all the information you need to create your perfect vacation. Find it all in your FREE Texas State Travel Guide visit www.TravelTex.com.
