The Gaff has a character all its own — part indoor hangout, part open-air bar — and when Jim Dugan takes the stage, the whole place comes alive. Pull up a seat, order a slice of what locals swear is some of the best pizza on the Texas coast, and let the evening unspool to the sound of live music drifting through warm salt air.
When the last song fades, Beached Inn is just a short walk away — cold drink on the porch, the Gulf breeze doing its thing, and a good night's sleep with the surf in the background.
