North Padre Island/Corpus Christi

Our Lone Star Summer has taken us to some strange places, and today we wound up in North Padre Island which is the Gulf of Mexico beach side of Corpus Christi. No one will mistake it for Cannes or even Destin, Florida, but lots of folks come here to enjoy the beach. About 10 miles down the road you hit Port Aransas, a fishing village that has some restaurants and the normal touristy stuff. Between here and Port Aransas, there appears to be some newer condos and homes on the beach.

So, I ask, what's with this driving on the beach? As someone who grew up going to the Jersey Shore, I can assure you driving on the beach is as far from my frame of reference as possible. To each his own. Wonder if AAA will take calls to dig your car out of the sand?

BBQ illegal?? we do a lot of Illegal things on the beach. The cops don't care, just has long as we get them high too

It's only illegal to BBQ on the beach when there's a burn ban. It's usually ok. Also, South Padre is only better if you're 18-24 and are looking for a party. 4X4's are only necessary if you go past the 2wheel drive portion of the beach (he did not). I always go 10-20 miles down the beach where you NEED 4X4's and we are completely secluded. It's great for fishing and camping. South padre is for parties (and good ones ;)
