Texas in the winter?

Only place to boondock is at the very north end of the main road on the shoulder. Sand drifts are very common as is high winds. You can pay to drive out onto the beach north of town, but no-one (and I mean no-one) ever boondocks out there. I would think you would be up to your axles in sand and salt water within 24 hours. YMMV

Thanks, that is what I thought. I have heard people say that they have parked for free on the beach at SPI, but I never have found a suitable place. I have stayed at the campgrounds on the Island.
