Yea I was perhaps a little too harsh.  I was thinking more of the beaches in northern Europe.  I'm sure Mediterranean side has some good beaches.  I'm not much of a beach fan though anyways ever since Jaws.

Being from Texas myself and having been to Galveston beach many times, I can assure you it was (likely unintentionally) harsh.

That said, I'm going to be a little harsh.  Because I've been there, several times. And to other beaches around the US and Europe.  Galveston is about as bland of a beach you can possibly have while still enjoying the water....mostly. Flat and brown. Warm at least.

Yea my parents moved to Galveston a couple years ago and I wasn't too excited that they did.  My first exposure to Galveston was back in my college days first spring break we went to Crystal Beach.  I've been on a few Caribbean cruises before that and to some decent beaches in Florida so when I first stepped foot in Galveston it was a let down.  Luckily once we got to Crystal Beach the sand and beach area seemed a lot better along with less seaweed. 

South Padre is probably best beach in Texas but that isn't really that great either.  A lot better than port lavaca though...  Should be called port lacaca.

Little off topic on beach talk but yea I think they should have beaches opening up now.  The spring breakers are gone so most would be families that would probably adhere to distancing.  It was probably good idea to shut them down in March and possibly May but now most the out of town or state partiers are gone.
