About this swimming hole
A Brazoria County beach park where the Brazos River meets the Gulf, with a sandy swim beach facing open water and ship-watching at the Freeport jetties. Boardwalks cross the dunes to the surf, and beachfront campsites let you fall asleep to the waves. Quieter and cheaper than Galveston.
