About This Beach
Bryan Beach is a secluded 3-mile stretch of natural beach near Freeport, offering a more wild and undeveloped experience than many Gulf beaches. The beach permits free camping and vehicle access without permits, attracting those seeking an affordable seaside experience. Limited development means minimal facilities, creating a rustic atmosphere. The beach sits where the Brazos River meets the Gulf, offering both freshwater and saltwater fishing opportunities. Surfing conditions can be excellent, particularly for experienced surfers. Bird watching is exceptional in the adjacent Bryan Beach State Recreation Area, part of the Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail.
