Boca Chica Beach
We decided to go to Brownsville's Boca Chica Beach today after I got out of work. It was of course a beautiful scene as you can see for yourself. Even though it's been scorching hot in the city, condition out on Boca Chica Beach were completely different. Every beeze of fresh air was cool but not cold...
Once you leave the last gas station on Boca Chica Blvd. you'll see a long stretch of road with mostly catcus, palm trees, shrubs, and sand. Every now and then you'll see pockets of people in small nieghborhoods... Don't be surprised because they are few and far between. I think in a later entry i'll talk about this area's history and what it is today.
The surf was a bit rough on this day but the water was nice and warm. I wish I could've gotten out of work a little earlier; we could've stayed longer.
It's not a visit to the beach without building at least one sand castle. As you can see, even I contributed a little... AND needless to say we still need to work on our sand-castle-building skills.
Yummy hot dogs and one last walk by the beach's shore... You have to leave just before the tide comes in and the sun comes down. If you leave any later your car will get stuck in the soft sand or you wont be able to see the exit back to the street. We left at 8:30pm.

While there are very beautiful beaches along South Padre Island, I was very disapointed with Boca Chica Beach. There's lots of trash and safety is a concern becuase cars and alcohol are allowed on the beach.
