That is a GULF Coast beach --- I prefer the real beach on the South Florida coast. You can find some nice Gulf beaches along the Texas coast line ...
Now South Florida - great beaches with super food. And June, July and August winds are coming onshore - is cooler than the sun baked midland.
So go view your youth ("Where the Boys Are" with Connie Francis and George Hamilton), figure a day of deep sea fishing, a day exploring the Everglades, a bus trip to Key West, a dinner on South Beach, paddle boarding (or watching the paragliders on surf boards), a Water Taxi day of listening to the who & what costs of housing on the intercoastal, try some Cubana food, walk the beach for shells as the sun comes up and toast the sunset while eating your Jamician dinner.
South Florida is a mixture of the islands, the gateway for South America, the largest cruise port in the USA, a shopping destination ....
PS If you still are bored, go gambling at the Hard Rock on the reservation --- it is the big white complex about 3 miles SOUTH of the Ft Lauderdale airport on I-95. It is on an American Indian reservation (as the chain is now owned by the those American Indians also).
