Texas coast
Galveston's sandy stretch
The Texas coast is the 367-mile stretch of Gulf of Mexico shoreline from the Louisiana border to the Rio Grande.
It encompasses barrier islands like Galveston and Padre Island, coastal marshes, and major ports including Houston and Corpus Christi.
The region is known for petrochemical industry, commercial fishing, beach tourism, and vulnerability to hurricanes: We evacuated from the Texas coast before the storm made landfall.
