My Favorite Beach Locations
Mustang Island, North Padre Island, and numerous bays; we are so lucky to have so many amazing beaches nearby. Please be sure to note if the beach you select requires a beach permit! Permits can be purchased at most of the local gas stations and at HEB. Also, I highly recommend 4-wheel drive vehicles for the more remote spots, so please let me know if you don't have a 4-wheel drive vehicle.
