I know Houston proper doesn't have beaches but we live in Katy and thinking about a day trip to the beach. A couple of years ago we went out to Surfside and it wasn't too bad. Will be in the wife's 2wd Expedition so don't want to get in a place where we will end up stuck. Where would you go that's within an hour or so of Houston for a day trip?

What about Quintana Beach? Just on the other side of the Freeport channel from Surfside. I'm pretty sure there still is a county park there and the entrance fee is probably $5-10 per vehicle.
Obviously Galveston is an option, but it can be a pain to get down there. If Galveston, there are a couple parks on the West side, just a mile or 2 off the seawall. They used to be called pocket parks and had parking, restrooms, rinse off area, etc.
If you are insistent on driving on the beach, then surfside down the bluewater highway is probably your best bet. There are a few access points, but the sand does have some soft spots up by the road.

I love going down there, but man I wish people would pick up after themselves. It's why we can't have nice things.
