City advice
Getting around
Easy walk or drive to beach.
It's an easy walk to the beach, but if you prefer driving then there's plenty of FREE parking on the street along the beach. Remember, it's one-way traffic. Consider renting a golf cart for just riding around, enjoying the breeze, and catching the sunset (there are also 3rd party golf cart rental companies in the community).
What to pack
Extra water and personal comforts.
Our home has a water filtration system, but feel free to bring your own extra drinking water. We also have all of your basic beach amenities like chairs, mats, umbrella, beach toys, igloo, sun screen lotion, etc . . . but feel free to bring your own favorite personal items.
Ways to save
Stock up before arrival.
Surfside Beach is a beach community and it has several convenient stores in the neighborhood. But if you would like to stock up and $ave then you may want to want to stop by the H-E-B supermarket in Lake Jackson on your way in (about 13 miles from house).
