Your Guide to a Fun and Safe Beach Driving Experience
You can drive your vehicle directly on the beach at Crystal Beach, Texas. You need a Bolivar Beach Parking Sticker ($10 per year, available at The Big Store on Highway 87) to park on the sand. The speed limit is 15 mph. Glass is prohibited. No sticker is needed if you are just driving through without parking. Here is everything else you need to know.
The sticker costs $10 per calendar year. Purchase at The Big Store (Gulf Coast Market) on Highway 87, the Bolivar Tourism Center, or several other local businesses. Place it on the lower right corner of your front windshield.
Speed limit is 15 mph. Watch for pedestrians, children, and animals. Glass containers are strictly prohibited. Alcohol is allowed in cans and plastic only. Pets must be leashed. Small contained campfires are permitted but large bonfires are not. Clean up your area before leaving.
Yes. Two areas do not require a sticker: one zone near Rettilon Road and another east of Rollover Pass toward the Chambers County line. These tend to be less crowded.
Stick to the packed wet sand near the waterline for the firmest surface. If you drive into soft dry sand, reduce tire pressure slightly, clear sand from around your tires, and reverse slowly. Do not spin your wheels. Local tow services are available.
