Surfside Jetty County Park… Beach, Park and Fishing!

by Jill Jarvis Leave a Comment

Surfside Jetty Park!

South of Houston is Surfside (and Surfside Beach)! On the edge of town (which is very small and walk-able), is Surfside Jetty County Park!

This free park, on the water, includes a playground, restrooms, parking, beach and jetty access. When we visited on a weekend afternoon, the park was busy with picnickers, fishers, swimmers and kids on the playground.

Surfside Jetty Park Playground

The playground is not big… but it’s tall. The steps and ladders go up 3 stories! Some of the ladders are too tall for little ones, but it is fun and challenging for bigger ones.

The beach is right next to the playground (and the parking is a lot more empty than the other side of Surfside), but there are rocks to negotiate or a short walk to an access point.

If you are looking for a new beach to try out, check out Surfside… and while you are there, play at Surfside Jetty Park!

jill-jarvis-bigkidsmallcity-circle-300 Welcome!  JillBJarvis.com is the go-to blog for things to do in Houston with kids!  It is upbeat and dedicated to making our big city feel small.   START HERE!    

On this website you will find a full list of Houston weekly events, things to do around the city, travel ideas and resources for parents.

I know just what it’s like to be overwhelmed by work, life and family. I spent a lot of years traveling for work, missing big milestones for my kids and feeling bad about everything.

I started this website to make a list of all the events happening around Houston and then pick one to enjoy with my kids. And instead of thinking of all the things I was missing, I started to enjoy the things we were doing together.

If you are a parent that is feeling overwhelmed by all the things you could be doing in Houston… please just use our weekly lists and daily posts as suggestions. Pick one thing to do with your family and intentionally ignore the rest!
