It was an idyllic day - the beach was sparsely populated and the temperature was just right. I felt as though I had stumbled upon my own private oasis. Unfortunately, parking on-site came with a fee of $12, payable only in cash. We opted to park outside and walk, but I wouldn't suggest it to others who may not have cash on hand. Despite this minor inconvenience, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the beach.
On the 23rd of July, at 11am, I had an amazing experience at the beach. Despite the effort required to find a spot and set up, the time spent there was well worth it. The refreshing and invigorating water was a welcome relief from the heat, and the overall atmosphere was far superior to that of Galveston beach. I am already looking forward to returning to this beautiful location.
The beach is indeed beautiful, but the entrance fee is a bit steep at $12 for the car. If you opt for the seats and umbrella, it will set you back $35. However, we decided to splurge and bring our furry friend along. It was a fantastic day, and our pup definitely appreciated the shade.
I am absolutely enamored with this beach spot nestled in South Padre Island. The price of admission, which is only 12 USD per vehicle, is a small price to pay for the breathtaking scenery and unparalleled tranquility that awaits you.
This beach is a total zoo, packed to the gills with families galore. But hey, at least the restrooms and outdoor showers are top-notch. Just make sure you bring your wallet, because everything else here costs a pretty penny. If you're lucky enough to snag a BBQ pit early in the day, you'll be grilling alongside the masses. But beware, parking can be a nightmare later on, even though it's technically free after you fork over the $12 park entry fee. On the bright side, this beach is perfect for little ones since the water is shallow. Just make sure to BYO floatie and fill it up for a measly $2 at the rental spot where you can also grab a snack. If you're feeling fancy, you can rent a beach chair and umbrella for a whopping $35. The water may be chilly, but at least there are plenty of shells to hunt for. And the best part? There are way fewer sea creatures washing up here compared to other nearby beaches. It's a hit with LatinX families who come to soak up some sun and surf. Just be sure to have your papers in order and watch your speed on the drive back, as Border Patrol is everywhere.
