Here, you can set up your tent or park your RV right on the sand and enjoy the Gulf of Mexico's stunning views.

    One of the standout features of Bolivar Flats is its pet-friendly policy, so feel free to bring your furry friends along for the adventure.

    Amenities are minimal, with no electric hookups, drinking water, or showers available. However, there are trash cans scattered along the beach and a pit toilet near Rettilon Road. Make sure to bring your own toilet paper, as it tends to run out quickly. Cell service is decent, with 2 to 3 bars for AT&T users.

    For those planning to stay, you'll need a Bolivar Beach Parking Sticker, which you can purchase from local vendors. This spot is perfect for a laid-back beach getaway where you can fish, relax, and soak in the natural beauty. Just remember to pack out what you pack in and help keep this beach pristine for future visitors.
