Possible Things to do
Grocery stores
- Surfside has two “seven-eleven” type grocery stores. Both carry a reasonable assortment of groceries and drinks.
- Buckie's on the way to Surfside (on the corner of Highways 332 East and 523) has the cheapest price for crushed ice (99¢ for 20 lbs).
- The closest full sized grocery store is Randall's in Lake Jackson. From the stoplight in Surfside, go west on 332 for 10½ miles. It will be on your left, across the street from another Buckie’s.
- Two miles north of Randall's is a Wal-Mart Supercenter. It is one block west of the 332 West and 288 intersection.
