Although it was a fairly nice day, the beach was almost empty when we arrived around 10. A lifeguard was on duty and the beach chairs and umbrellas were already set up. THey did not charge for parking although it is ussually $8. The chairs and umbrellas were a different story. $30 for two canvas chairs and a modest umbrella.... More

We didn't use the building at all so I can't comment on that. I give it four stars because... we went on a weekday and there was hardly anyone there, it was nice to have some privacy. We didn't have to pay for parking, no one was at the ticket booth (I'm thinking they only collect money during the busy... More

My whole family on my mom's side invaded Galveston and this was such a nice clean fun beach! We rented umbrella's which was nice. It was just a nice place! More

We are visiting Houston and wanted to spend an afternoon at the beach. We went to Stewart because it seemed family friendly from the TripAdvisor reviews. All four of our kids (ages 11, 6, 4, & 2) had a great time playing in the sand and splashing in the water. It was a great area--mostly families, no obscene dressing, no... More

We went to Stewart Beach on June 2, 2011. I would think that with all of the people who pay $8 to park they could at least have an employee to tidy up the restrooms. There was no air conditioning and very little ventilation in the restroom/changing rooms. The toilets and floors were filthy and downright disgusting. The place smelled... More

It's not the most beautiful beach or water, but my daughter has never been to a beach. She loved it. We brought a canopy to put up, so we drove further northeast on the beach (after entering - paid $8). It says no tents or shelters, but drive past the area with the rental umbrellas, and you can put up... More

We came in April when the beach wasn't very busy. There weren't any watersport equipment out but the concession at the beach was really handy. The bathrooms are in pretty rough shape though. There's also a subway and coffee shop right across the street. Stay away from the giant slide though. The guys who work it didn't seem that safety... More

Save your money and park at the pear for free because if u leave to eat you have to pay to park again and the snack shop isn't always open ,nice clean family beach More

We had a fun time at this beach. We selected this beach because we wanted to take our dog with us. It is one of the few beaches that is pet friendly. It was $7 per vehicle admission. We didn't pay the money to rent the chairs and umbrella but next time will bring a few old blankets to lay... More
