In our Water Issue, seven writers present their cases for the best beach in Texas. From the remote and sandy swaths of Boca Chica to the bright piers of Galveston, there’s a lot of beach to consider in “The Great Beach-Off.” Elsewhere in the June issue, Senior Writer Ian Dille visits the Guadalupe River in “Return to the River,” which offers a deep look at how communities affected by the July 4 floods are still working to recover and bring Texans back. And if you’ve ever wondered what it takes to fish on one of the Gulf’s vanishing oil rigs, writer Paul Greenberg and photographer Mac Elliott took to the deep water to document the venture in “Crude Awakening.” With the start of summer underway, there’s no better time to find a body of water somewhere in Texas. Our June issue offers plenty of inspiration to that end.
