Fort Worth—Want to go swimming somewhere along the Texas Gulf Coast this summer?

From April to October, you can enjoy swimming on the Texas coast with the water temperature usually over 70 degrees. Though the water is warm, taking a dip will feel much cooler than the triple digit temperatures we’re experiencing up on the land.

Of the state’s coastal beaches, South Padre Island has the coolest average water temperature at 79 degrees In July, followed by Freeport at 84 degrees, Port Mansfield at 85 and Galveston at 86 degrees.
