Best Solitutude: Matagorda Island WMA (Texas)
America's Best Beaches
 |
| Matagorda Island (K Jones) |
Don't worry about getting mixed up in the south Texas spring break beach party here. With no electricity, water, or telephone service, beaches on the 56,688-acre Matagorda Island WMA offer just two things: peace and quiet.
In fact, the only crowds you'll find here are crowds of animals: whooping cranes, peregrine falcons, deer, and coyotes. Cars? Forget it. And people? It's accessible only by private boat, so you do the math. Bring your bike and boots and explore the 80 miles of dirt roads and beach area. Or just hang out on the sand, gaze out at the Gulf waters, and soak up the solitude.
