It’s that time of year when the scorching heat rises in the Lone Star State, and it’s absolutely unbearable.
Many Texans who live near the coast cope with this by flocking to one of Texas’ many beaches for a relaxing day by the sea. After all, sometimes a subtle breeze near the shore and a dip in the waters cool is all that provides a bit of a rest from the hot weather.
Why not make it a holiday and stay a few days near the beach?
