The Gulf of Mexico offers an abundance of outdoor activities, from beach volleyball to deep sea game fishing. Among the city's 19 museums is Spindletop Gladys City Boomtown Museum, home of the world's only working replica of an oil well. Big Thicket National Preserve offers 100,000 acres of trails, birding and wildlife observation.
While hurricanes and tropical storms do visit the Gulf of Mexico, Beaumont's inland location is an asset. Temperatures are mild in winter and hot and humid in summer. June is often the rainiest month as well as the hottest. Tent campers may find spring and fall the most pleasant and driest seasons for camping.
