#beach
The Padre Island National Seashore separates the Gulf of Mexico from the Laguna Madre, one of a few hypersaline lagoons in the world.  The park protects 70 miles of coastline, dunes, prairies, and wind tidal flats teeming with life.  It also has beautiful stretches of road with road access to the beach. Very scenic and very enjoyable!!!
Seaweed beach for miles and miles

Where to stay in North Padre Island

Brief vacation trip to north Padre Island, Corpus Christi, Texas.  We spent an afternoon at Malaquite Beach in the national seashore. This little submarine is outside our favorite kitschy souvenir store.

The place is spotless and everything is new. I was in town to Windsurf for a few days. Being able to park my vehicle in the garage was great. I didn’t have to worry about my car getting broken into with all my gear. I will definitely book again next time.
