I lived in Corpus for years in college so I visited this place frequently. It’s one of the only places you can drive a vehicle on the beach.. I mean.. you can literally wave romp if you don’t care about rusting out the bottom of your car.
There is one way in and one way out.. you drive for 3 hours to turn around and come out how you went in. The sand is very fine so the water visibility is zilch. Because of the ocean currents, it pushes up a ton of trash…. But, there’s a silver lining… it also pushes up loads of shells tumbled by the waves and sand. Kind of cool. You have to drive for about 2.5 hours to find “big shell”.. the shell riddled a beach. The facility is nice to wash off and picnic at after a day at the beach.
They also have sea turtle releases at sunrise during the summer months. The dates are unpredictable because they follow the hatching of the turtles.
I’ve been to much nicer national parks, as far as campgrounds, facilities and amenities, but as far as TEXAS BEACHES go.. it’s probably one of the better ones.
By far, the coolest beach I’ve ever seen!!!
