Texas

Southern Texas is a major snowbirds and winter visitor destination. Mild winters, happy people, reasonable prices, and plenty to do with other winter Texans is the draw to this area. Each year from October through March, thousands of visitors from northern states spend time in Texas.

South Texas is a subtropical paradise, where the average annual shirt-sleeve temperature is 76° F with an average rainfall of 25 inches. People find that prices are reasonable, and eating in restaurants is very affordable.

The vast majority of winter Texan snowbirds drive down in RVs. RV parks range from small to enormous. Most of the larger ones have highly organized activities with crafts and dancing being main attractions. Yes, if you like square or line dancing, this is the place to kick up your heals.

Beaches extend for miles and miles of shoreline with palm trees and bright warming sunshine. Walk the beach and stick your toes in the water. If you are a birder, there is a wide variety of migratory birds to spot.

Winter Texans start out as visitors to the community, then become a part of it. They soon become very ‘localized’ by remaining in one area of the state during their stay in Texas, returning year after year.

The people are friendly! As you are driving down the highway, don't be surprised if people wave at you. Many snowbirds like the friendly country so much they retire to Texas. People have moved there from all over the country, you are welcome too!
