Padre Island National Seashore

Awesome place to drive on the beach. The sand is usually well groomed and packed down, allowing 2 wheel drive vehicles good access. Just make sure to stay on packed sand, or you will sink in pretty quickly. Luckily, most people will stop and help if you get stuck.

My wife and our vacationing in March in Rockport, Texas in Port Aransas and took the opportunity to take a day and explore the Padre Island national seashore. It was absolutely an amazing experience. I highly recommend it if you’re in the area vacationing or touring and you wanna see some cool things take a day and just experience the Padre national seashore they have a gift shop and it’s just beautiful beach lots of beautiful seashells so if your kids love seashells make sure you bring a big bag cause there are plenty of shells to be collected on the beach. I hope you guys enjoy my review and Padre national seashores look forward to seeing you. Lotta great history thank you.

It's a fantastic destination for those seeking solitude and a trueconnection with the outdoors. Highly recommended for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike!

Very scenic place. Not much in avaliable services, so be certain to bring food, water, and other necessities. You can drive on the beach here south of the visitor center, but don't do so unless you have a 4x4. Do not disturb a sea turtle if you find one.

We went the weekend of November 15th. the water was crystal clear, all the way up to my waist, we were able to see stingrays on the sandbar Medium-sized turtles also. As the waves crashed on the sandbar, we were able to see fish swimming in the waves. The water is amazingly clear!
