Guess that explains the joyous shade of Galveston brown
not really it's because of the Trinity and Brazos rivers or the sediments that flow out of those rivers on constant basis.
It's because of the Mississippi more than anything. Trinity dumps into Trinity and Galveston bay and the Brazos silt is carried south along the coast.

You can thank the Army Corps of Engineers for f'ng up our beaches more than nature would because they channelize the Miss. river and spend billions keeping it from changing course into the Atchaflaya basin like it wants to.


Well, at least there's a reason. A crappy one, but still.

....but Texas beaches are nothing compared to the beaches from Gulf Shores, AL all the way to Mexico Beach, FL. Floribama Coast is paradise!
There's this thing between us called the Mississippi River...

Our beaches will never be that clean due to the multiple river systems dumping into the SE Texas Coast.


Surprised nobody has mentioned the Mississippi River yet. That's a biggie and the main reason you see blue water and white-sand beaches to the east of the mouth of the Mississippi.

You misspelled the Caribbean.
The Gulf Shores are essentially the same type of beach as the ones in Jamaica, just not as steep.

A lot of that e-coli is agricultural. Where do you think cow **** goes when it rains? We get e-coli alerts on lake LBJ every time the llano floods. All of Texas drains into the gulf. Thats a lot of animal poop.

Just swim in a swimming pool. Lakes, rivers and the ocean have alot of stuff in it you don't really want to know about.
