Although it typically isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when people think of Houston, the Space City has some of the best outdoor areas in Texas<\/a>. In addition to dozens of city parks and Sam Houston National Forest, there are also several awesome state parks to explore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each state park in the Houston area has something different to offer. From the beautiful beaches of Galveston Island State Park to the rugged wilderness of Huntsville State Park, there’s so much to explore in Southeastern Texas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re willing to drive a little ways out of Houston, you’ll find Sea Rim State Park. Located in Sabine Pass, about 110 miles west of Houston<\/strong> and just south of Beaumont, Sea Rim State Park is a coastal paradise. It’s situated on the Gulf of Mexico–which means sandy beaches, wet marshlands, and sprawling boardwalks. Here, you’ll also find 16 miles of paddle trails<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sea Rim also boasts an impressive array of birds, wildlife, and ocean life, not to mention some of the best fishing in Sabine Pass.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you’re finished with activities for the day, you can hunker down for the night at the state park campground. Choose from more than 70 primitive sites<\/strong>–14 of which have electric hookups. One of these primitive sites even has a rustic cabin. If you and your family are looking for a few more amenities, there are 15 campsites with water and electric hookups, as well as a dump station<\/strong>, communal bathroom, and showers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
