Best Beach

Crystal Beach

If your idea of paradise is a long, secluded beach with gently rolling waves and miles of sand to dig in, you won't find a better place than this. Besides sunning and swimming, fishing is popular at Crystal Beach — both surf (wade out into waist-deep water on the second sandbar) and jetty fishing (you can walk two miles out on the rocks). There are plenty of bait camps and charters that can point you in the right direction. And don't forget to bring your crabbing gear, too. There are plenty of beach house rentals and low-cost motels, in case you want to spend the night. Crystal Beach also offers a wide variety of restaurants, from Mexican and Italian food to good ol' Gulf Coast seafood, so you won't leave the beach hungry.
