Camp on Padre Island National Seashore's North Beach

01/16/17

We had at awesome time at Padre Island...with over 60 miles of beach, you can easily find isolation and have a campsite all to yourself. You can drive the beach or easily backpack to find a spot. The wildlife, especially the birds, are diverse and plentiful. Plus, you can't beat a cup of coffee while watching the sunrise over the Gulf, all from your tent. We spent our days walking the beach, searching for wildlife, playing frisbee and exploring the dunes. Sadly, there's a lot of trash which washes up along the dunes. Make sure you practice Leave No Trace ethics and pack out all your trash. There are dumpsters at visitors center for when you leave.
