Small town mentality, hot and humid
In a nutshell
a good place to visit, but i wouldn't want to die here
2 Reviews Spindletop was named such due to the way the trees near the salt hill flared out as if there was an upside down spindle. It was a local playground for a long time, until the industrial explosion hit. That is until oil was found just outside of town in Spindletop. In 1899, the first attempts were...
1 Review There are 2 main beaches in the greater Beaumont area. Crystal Beache is a major party destination for locals and is patrolled heavily by cops. There are ferries from Crystal Beach to Galveston. This is a much easier way to get to Galveston from Beaumont rather than going through Houston. The other...
1 Review The city has experienced a sudden boom, but it stopped shortly, as most of the oil business has moved to Houston. This has frozen the downtown as if it is 1930, and you can see a lot of interesting art deco buildings. Downtown also has an art museum, a concert hall and a firefighters' museum.
1 Review About 5 minutes East of Beaumont in Vidor is Boomtown Lake. There's a small charge for the day which is probably around $5. Beaumont gets rather hot in the summer, and swimming is a must for everybody that lives here.
Swing Out Civic Club -great place to 2 step
ozell56 Says: Club located at 3859 Stagg Dr. easy to get to directly across the street from a shopping strip called Gateway. Only open 2 nights a week Tuesday and Friday nights..web site with the same name .com. All adult R&B, Jazz and Zydeco music BYOB with set ups available for...

Hamburger Depot: Local's landmark for best burgers
DSwede Says: The decoration of Hamburger Depot is nothing special. Its just an average style restaurant with a front counter where you walk up to order. You take a number and the food is delivered to you.What does stand out about the place is that despite its location outside of the city...
Rao's Bakery (& Gelato): Fill your sweet tooth needs
DSwede Says: There are two locations of Roa's Bakery. The first one which opened in 1941 is on 2596 Calder Avenue. It's opening hours are more limited (6am ~ 6pm Mon/Fri, until 3pm Sat, closed Sunday). Its menu is also slightly smaller.The newer location (address listed below), is much...
Easy's Tapas & Martinis: Relax with fascinating locals
der_geograf Says: A best-kept Beaumont secret that is quickly becoming no longer a secret! This combination lunch and evening spot is a great place to relax. Tucked into the heart of Old Town Beaumont, Easy's Tapas & Martinis is a large renovated house of the typical early 20th century...
syb0rz Says: Not the greatest live music venue, but the main one in Beaumont. Any given Friday or Saturday there is usually a good show going on. No open-toed shoes.
syb0rz Says: Hitching is definatly the cheapest way to get around in Texas since it's so massive and there is absolutly NO public transit system. There are a lot of commercial train lines you can hop on, but that's dangerous. There are a few passenger trains, and there is a greyhound bus...
Visitor's Center: Mail or in Person
grandmaR Says: As usual there was a nice gift shop which sold a selection of publications, visitor convenience items, video tapes, and computer software. The NPS encourages the use of the store because items purchased there ultimately benefit the Preserve since percentage of all sales come...
Sunrise Records: Music and Smoke Shop
syb0rz Says: This is the best place to get smoking supplies and to find out where to get any kind of smoking products you may want. Just let them know you're from out of town. ;) It's a smoke shop. I don't smoke.
syb0rz Says: If you spot a cowboy do not mention anything to do with cars or motors. They will instantly either lock you in conversation or want to race you and fight you if they lose. Modern cowboys don't ride horses and live on farms. They build cars. If you want to see ranchers you...
der_geograf Says: If you are visiting Beaumont or any coastal areas along the U.S. Gulf Coast or Atlantic Coast between June and November, hurricanes are an ever-present threat. By no means does this mean that you should cancel any vacations during this period, but always keep in mind that...
Gang Violence south of Beaumont
syb0rz Says: Just south of Beaumont is a nice city called Port Arthur. However, you can get into a pretty dangerous area if you're not careful. If you're going to Pt. Arthur stay away from the levee area and check out where you're going before you go.
minerva1221 Says: It's hot and humid most of the time, but the weather in Beaumont is about as predictable as the lottery, so bring light cotton clothes and maybe a light jacket. During winter time, it rarely gets below freezing, but it's possible! Lots of great photo ops if you adventure...
Climb the ladder up the Jefferson Theater
syb0rz Says: There is a ladder up the side of the Jefferson Theater just a minute or two walk from the main downtown clubs. There is a very good view of the river, the port, downtown and also the dreary view of the huge ExxonMobile oil refinery.
John_P_LSU Says: Hiking in the Big Thicket National Preserve. There are eight trails in the Preserve totaling more than 45 miles. The longest is 18 miles while the shortest is less than one quarter mile. A few of our trails are fully accessible. Please use caution during the summer months...
65,000 square foot Sports Gym and Spa for $10
syb0rz Says: It's called the Wilton P. Hebert Health & Welness Center and it's run by St. Elizabeth Hospital here in Beaumont. It's a 65,000 square foot gym. It's open 5:00am-10:00pm Monday through Friday and 7:00am to 7:00pm on Saturday and Sunday. $10/day guest passes are...

Today, Beaumont is a rather nondescript stopping point for most traveling on I-10 through the southeast of Texas. Honestly speaking, there's not much here to interest most people and therefore does......

The Big Thicket National Preserve is headquartered in the town of Beaumont TX, but I have not actually been to the town.

This grew quickly in the late 20's and early 30's as an oil boomtown, but has stagnated ever since.
