Stay Safe

• Tap water is affected by "trihalomethanes", a byproduct of over-chlorination. It's also not very tasty. According to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and there's no health danger for short term visitors, but you'll probably want to buy bottled water for drinking and cooking.
• Jellyfish are common in Gulf waters especially the Portuguese Man-of-War. Counteract the painful poison with a towel zapped in the microwave for 1 minutes or a mix of vinegar and Meat tenderizer.
• Hurricanes affect the area. Evacuation route signs are posted along primary streets.

Seaweed - a significant amount can sometimes be heaped up on the beach, especially after a storm. It can sometimes accumulate in large rafts that are too thick to comfortably navigate
