Entrada de la Brasada – Bee County

Beeville - a bustling little city with a laid-back lifestyle and a warmth that is contagious. Nestled in the heart of the Texas Coastal Bend, Bee County offers a climate that is ideally suited to year-round outdoor activities. Hunters can enjoy an abundance of deer, dove, quail, hogs, turkey and javelina, and birding enthusiasts can spot a variety of species at the Veterans Memorial Park.

In 2005, Beeville was honored to be named a Texas Main Street City, and in 2006 was awarded certification as a  National Main Street City, as a result of that process, an abundance of shopping opportunities are being developed. We are excited to have the largest Super Wal Mart south of Dallas in our community. Also new to Beeville is Walgreen’s and Chili’s Grill and Bar Restaurant. Come stroll down the wide, quiet avenue into quaint gift shops and tea rooms, such as Hensley’s Café and Tea Room in downtown Beeville.
