Mustang Beach
Wow, this is a COOL beachside resort. A throwback to the surf towns of the 60's and 70's. Everyone takes it nice and easy, certainly a drastic change from the hustle and bustle of nearby Houston (about 1.5 hrs away by Archer or the like). It's a little far from town, but there is a cheap bus that runs roughly hourly, and inside the "FBO" building there are phone numbers for local taxi service that will pick you up in a few minutes.
