An Hour in Parking Lot Shores


What's wrong with this picture?
What's wrong with this picture is that THERE ARE CARS ON THE BEACH. I know this isn't the only beach in the country where people can drive their cars halfway into the ocean, but that doesn't make it ok. Wait, I feel like yelling again. IT DOESN'T MAKE IT OK.

On a lighter note, there are also doggies on the beach. Doggies are good.

And pinchy crustacean remnants which are interesting in a seriously-glad-that-thing-wasn't-scuttling-through-the- sand-toward-me kind of way

Ocean Shores has horses who may or may not bite.

You can ride them while trucks zoom past you. Perhaps the horses' bridles should be outfitted with blinking turn signals. Has anyone in Ocean Shores ever heard of a PARKING LOT? I parked at a Shilo Inn and had a 10 minute walk to the beach. It really wasn't terribly difficult.

These girls had the right idea. I love this photo. I think it looks like a painting.


A beach that is half parking lot is stupid.
But the ocean, the greatest thing on earth, made driving five hours round trip worth it. Even for a one-hour visit.

  1. I agree what you say about the girls sitting on the beach looking like a painting.

  2. OMG...you would hate certain parts of South Padre Island. Its a complete parking lot on the beach and you often see people working together to push cars out of the sand. Beautiful pictures though. I am glad you took a mini roadtrip! - Robert
