About This Beach
Padre Island National Seashore offers a unique blend of accessible and remote beach experiences. The first few miles are readily accessible, but driving further requires a 4x4, leading to more isolated spots. This makes it attractive to those seeking solitude as well as families who value amenities like restrooms and showers near the entrance. The beach's vast expanse, wildlife sightings (turtles, deer, birds), and starry nights contribute to its appeal.
