Magnolia Beach, Public beach on Lavaca Bay, Texas.
The 1.5-mile stretch of hard-packed sandy beach extends along Matagorda Bay, providing access for vehicles and recreational activities throughout the entire coastline.
Established as an unincorporated community in the late 19th century, Magnolia Beach received its name from the local magnolia trees that grew in the area.
The census-designated place maintains a population of 217 residents who form a close community focused on outdoor activities, fishing, and coastal traditions.
Free beach access and primitive camping sites include maintained restrooms with showers, picnic tables, and barbecue grills for public use throughout the year.
The water contains only 19 percent salt content due to the Colorado and Lavaca Rivers flowing into the bay, creating distinct conditions for marine life.
