Description:
I started visiting this park in 1993 for the annual beach clean-up. Padre Island National Seashore is "the longest remaining undeveloped stretch of barrier island in the world" but if you've never been to the gulf coast before, don't expect a pristine blue ocean. This is a haven for wildlife, but the Gulf is also littered with oil rigs. This means lots of tar on the beach, jellyfish, seaweed, and murky bath-warm water. That being said, if seeing beautiful night skys and being able to drive for miles on the beach and see very few people is something you are interested in, I highly reccomend it. Things to watch out for - Texas size mosquitos, sand fleas, and sharks past the 3rd sand bar.
