Bolivar Flats Beach
Bolivar Flats Beach is a free beach located at the Retillon Road entrance, then northeast up to the "washout" (about 1/4 mile) which is where a small creek empties into the gulf, just before the housing developments start. Southwest of Retillon Road entrance requires a Bolivar Beach Sticker at a $10.00 fee.
High Island Beach, Texas
High Island Beach is a free beach area that once was home to several beach-front residences. In September 2008, Hurricane Ike wiped out all the homes and eroded much of the beach into the Gulf. Highway 87 once ran through this beach, and today, remnants of the highway can still be seen in the water.
