Stewart Beach - Galveston

Great place with lively beach. Has a lot of folks playing and relaxing. It is kid friendly as well. The parking ranges from 12 20$ depending on days and public holidays. The beach parking has a gate and they shut the gates around sunset. Best time to visit is at 3 7 during summertime. Folks come in early as well and hangout the whole day. There is open shower area and enclosed changing area. This is close to parking A lot.The rest rooms on site at times might not work so beware. Kids can play and run along the beach. It is a clean beach it has a few trash lying around through there are dustbins around the place. Kids need to be careful when entering the water. There is at times rip currents and that can be dangerous. There is a life guard at the station. Suggest you get your cooler with cool drinks and cold coffee and no liquor allowed on the beach. So don’t carry beer. Though there are folks who drink in the parking lot. There is security guard who patrols the beach as well. The beach has 2 parking lot A and B A seems to be more popular. The beach allows folks to grill so if you like you can get your grill. They do allow pets so there are folks with pets on the beach.

Good beach with ample parking lots, however restrooms are closed very early before half of the visitors are still present at sea beach

I walked a three-mile stretch of Stewart Beach on a Monday morning during a recent visit. As far as beaches goes, it wasn't terribly inviting or user-friendly. The beach is ungroomed and natural debris litters the area. The sand is pretty compact throughout, also. Beach chairs and umbrellas are available for rent and are located some distance west of the beach access near the Homewood Suites hotel. Fortunately, there was no artificial debris that I noticed, other than some discarded fruit. The water was pretty nice. Regardless of this, I still enjoyed the walk on the beach along with the other beach walkers and birds.

Great place to hang with the family. Plenty of well groomed beach to share. This parking space charges $15 for the whole day instead of an hourly rate. It is a commercial beach so there are umbrellas and chairs you can rent along the beach and then a section just behind that you can set up your own canopy and chairs if you’d like instead. There are showers, well maintained bathrooms, changing rooms, and even a small convenience store available too. Lots of room to play, some music playing in the background, and overall very clean. See pictures for the chair/umbrella pricing.

The day was beautiful. The beach was clean except for small signs of seaweed. Many families and others. Was peaceful. Bring your sunblock or tannoil as well as ice chest with food and lots of water.
