About Crystal

Beach

Crystal Beach, located between Galveston Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, is a beachside and laid-back Bolivar Peninsula neighborhood with wide sandy shoreline and stilt-house streetscapes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Highway 87 near the Stingaree Restaurant & Marina, where bait shops, boat slips, and casual patios set the day’s rhythm. Low-rise beach cottages and newer elevated homes line sandy lanes, with dune grass and boardwalk paths threading toward the water. Crystal Beach’s public drive-on beach shapes a gear-ready, toes-in-the-sand routine. The Bolivar Ferry landing adds a steady pulse of arrivals and departures across the channel. Evenings often orbit local staples like Jose’s Cantina and the Gulf Coast Market.
