Hotels in Texas Gulf Coast, United States of America

The Texas Gulf Coast stretches along the Gulf of Mexico, with a humid subtropical climate that brings hot, sticky summers (often above 90°F/32°C) and mild winters (lows around 40°F/4°C). It's famous for shrimp-filled seafood, colonial-era missions, and the winter home of migrating monarch butterflies-so you can watch the butterflies at Aransas National Wildlife Refuge from October to November, or kayak through the marshes of the Padre Island National Seashore in summer when the water hits 80°F/27°C. Head to Galveston for a day on the historic Pleasure Pier boardwalk, or to Corpus Christi for windsurfing on the Laguna Madre; winter's mild temperatures make it perfect for cycling the 100-mile-long beach at Mustang Island.
