Houston to 288 lake jackson/freeport then drive for about 50 min. Then get on 332 drive intill you see the exit for surfside. Drive on that road untill you get to the light at the bottom of the bridge, across the street from diamond shamrock. Turn right go down about four streets then go left. You will probably see a bunch of surfers hanging out.find a place to park, but don't on the right side of the road or you will get towed.
