Sea Rim State Park

Sea Rim in mid east Texas is empty this time of year, so shelling is pretty good but services limited to porta potties and beach access maybe a little challenging due to pools if it's rained recently. The absence of visitors doesn't hurt the shore bird populations, either, including plovers and pelicans. The fee is called an honor system but checked regularly, so if you don't already have a State Park pass that includes the day, get one. They are per person, not per car. They'll waste the time of park rangers even on an empty beach. On the other hand, no one will tell you that a pass at one State Park is a pass at all.
