47. You may want to visit the Texas coast first
Sun Sep 8, 2024, 04:29 PM

It's very different from CA's coast. In CA, we had hills right next to the coast and a small beach. We had caves and all sorts of interesting stuff. In Texas, you have a sandy plain that goes inland for about 50 miles. So, it's flat. When you get there, it's flat, deep sand. There is also alot of seaweed etc. The coast near Houston is sometimes muddyThere are no caves, no geological formations, just sand. There are a few dunes in the Port Aransas area. It's also very hot and it's the only place in Texas where I get burnt. The Galveston beaches have a darkish tinge to the sand.
