Texas Beach

*ADD PHOTO*

For those of you who haven't yet, you must have a visit to Richmond's Texas Beach! It is one of the many public access points to the James River in Richmond (and personally, my favorite). Belle Isle can get a little crowded and rowdy at times, whereas Texas Beach is much quieter and lesser known. And of course, in true Minimalist spirit, it's free! Just park your car or bike here and follow the short path through the woods. I have spent many a Saturday and Sunday lounging on a rock or swimming in the river this summer. I just discovered that there is a Facebook fan page for the spot as well!
