Galveston has the whitest sand in the world. It's a clean beach and everybody is very nice down there.

Yea man, head down to Crystal Beach and you can pick up multiple 15-17 yr olds who will tell you that they are legal! If your lucky, you might be able to make a seaweed castle!!

Galveston is dirty. I always go to South Padre, which isn't the greatest but 1000x better that Galveston and Corpus Christi. I'm going to Padre for my birthday next week... only downfall is it's a longer drive.
