Padre Island National Seashore
Padre Island National Seashore
At the beginning of spring, 2919, the Two Tired Teachers took a 10 day trip which ended at the Padre Island National Seashore in Corpus Christi, TX.
One of our favorite things about the trip is that we were litereally parked on the beach for free. Another thing the Two Tired Teachers loved about staying on the beach was the sound of the waves all night.
Finding specific information about the park is not easy, so the Two Tired Teachers break it down in the video. First, cross the causeway and continue driving. You will enter the Padre Island National Seashore.
From there, you have four camping options. The first is the North Beach. This one is absolutely free if you don't need any hookups for the duration of the stay. Find a place on a mile of beach, and park close to the dunes.
We, however, needed to empty our tanks and get fresh potable water. For that, you need to enter the fee area. The fee area includes a dump station, a place to get potable water, access to the visitors center, and access to both flush and vault toilets.
To enter the fee area costs $10 for one night or $20 for 2 - 14 nights. If you have an America the Beautiful pass, the entrance fee is waived. The ranger at the fee station told us if we bought the $80 pass, they would go ahead and let us use it that day. Since our plan is to visit more national parks, we bought the pass.
The seond camping option is Bird Island Basin, a place used for windsurfing. The fee for that area is $8 plus the entrance fee. You are at the water, but the camping area is a parking lot where you are relatively tightly slotted next to your neighbors.
Bird Basin Island is a premiere sight in the US for windsurfing. As a matter of fact, The windsurfing area is ranked by Windsurfing Magazine as the best flat water sailing site in the continental USA.
Worldwinds is the pro shop at Bird Isand Basin. They offer lessons as well as equipment rental.
Another camping option is Malaquite Campground. At that campground, there are flush toilets. The fee for Malaquite is $14 a night. It is asphalt, so you don't drive on sand. Also, the wind probably wouldn't be as strong since Malaquite is behind the dunes.
The visitors center has vending machines, and also beach wheelchairs are available. If you
The fourth camping place is the South Beach. You keep following the causeway road, and you will hit the South Beach. The first five miles are for two wheel drive, and the last 55 miles are for four wheel drive.
South Beach is another free camping area. The only thing you are charged is the entrance fee to the park.
All of the camping at the National Seashore at Padre Island is first come, first serve. Each of the campgrounds have a kiosk. You need to stop there and register.
A last option is Mustang Island, a Texas State Park. As of March, 2019, the park wasn't open for camping because of the damage from Hurricane Harvey. If you are staying at Mustang Island, you will not be staying on the beach. The camping there is on a parking lot, but you do have water and electric hook ups.
Wildlife at the park includes, the black skimmer, a bird that fishes morning and evening. In the video you can see them splashing in the water as they try to catch fish.
We also saw ghost crabs. They are shy creatures which burrow in the sand when anyone approaches them.
The trip was extremely enjoyable; however, there are some negatives to camping on the beach. Sand gets in and on everything. It is very important to visit a car wash soon after you leave the park because of the sand.

Ep. 121: South Padre Island | Texas RV travel camping
Our RV tour of the western half of Texas continues. Our intention coming here had been to boondock right on the sand at Boca Chica Beach, the southernmost point in Texas. However, we opted to move over to Isla Blanca County Park on South Padre Island for several reasons that we'll show and explain. While visiting South Padre Island we explore the town and Port Isabel, venture onto the deserted beaches north of town, gawk at the SpaceX Starship on the launch pad, learn the local history, drive the beach on this barrier island, see sea turtles in the wild, go kayaking in the bay, and check out some of the local off-season nightlife while dining at Laguna Bob's.
Filmed: September 29 to October 4, 2019

Video of South Padre Island Beach Camping, TX from Paige R.
Paige R.'s Review on The Dyrt:
▶︎ great beach camping
padre is a perfect place to go when you really want to get away from everything. great beach camping and you can drive down as far as you'd like. we are always able to find a spot with no one else around. there are no facilities or set camp sites so you set up wherever you want. be mindful of the weather and I would recommend a four wheel drive car if you plan to drive out very far. lots of people get stuck. we love camping here!

Weekend on Padre Island | Padre Bali County Park | RV Texas Y'all
We interrupt our #BeyondTX videos to share our recent weekend trip to Padre Island on the Texas Gulf Coast. RV Camping options down on Padre range from free beach camping to full hookups for rigs of all sizes. We went down planning to try beach camping, but the high tide warnings changed our minds.
In this video, we show you Malaquite Campground which offers dry camping with a view of the gulf inside Padre Island National Seashore. Then we move up the coast about 12 miles to Padre Bali County Park so we can plug the rig in and run the air conditioners at night (it was still pretty warm during our visit).
We can't wait to go back down and spend a couple of weeks in the area when it cools down a bit! Watch for another Padre Island video in the future!
Thank you to Marc from Grand Adventure for the drone lessons and drone video clips. If you haven't seen the Wingin' It! we filmed with him, you can check it out here: . And be sure to check out his channel: .

Marc's Drone:
By the way, if you're wondering about the material hanging from our awning, that is our Sunblocker ( ). It provides more shade under the awning by defusing the sun that comes from that angle (in this case, the afternoon sun). We normally have the bottom tied down so it doesn't blow around like it did here. It can make our awning area MUCH cooler on a hot day.

The Bottom of Texas -South Padre Island - Ep. 28
We venture from San Antonio down to the bottom of Texas as were told it's called by the locals. We stay at the county park Isla Blanca right on the peninsula of South Padre Island. We go across the causeway and explore the tiny tourist town. We also have to extend our stay due to hurricane force winds that prevent us from leaving the island. Join us on our journey further south as we try to out run the bad weather.

Texas Padre Island National Seashore Camping | Ghassful
Padre Island National Seashore (PINS) is a national seashore located on Padre Island off the coast of South Texas. In contrast to South Padre Island, known for its beaches and vacationing college students, PINS is located on North Padre Island and consists of a long beach where nature is preserved.
Most of the park is primitive, but camping is available, and most of the beach is only accessible to four-wheel-drive vehicles. All but four miles is open to vehicle traffic. PAIS is the fourth designated national seashore in the United States.
North Padre Island is the longest undeveloped barrier island in the world. The national seashore is 70 miles (110 km) long with 65.5 miles (105.4 km) of Gulf beach. PAIS hosts a variety of pristine beach, dune, and tidal flat environments, including the Laguna Madre on its west coast, a famous spot for windsurfing. It is located in parts of Kleberg, Kenedy, and Willacy counties, with Kenedy County having the majority of its land area.

Off-road Driving Padre Island National Seashore - Corpus Christi, Texas
For the full off-road trail guide please visit:
Without a doubt, the run on Padre Island National Seashore (PINS) is one of the most iconic overland runs in Texas. 60 miles one-way, completing this out-and-back beach run of 120 miles will require a solid 7-8 hours, leading most to set camp along the beach. Blue water, beautiful dunes, countless bird species, sea turtle spottings and awesome fishing are just some of the lures drawing visitors to experience the park. Just be prepared for soft sand as even 4WD vehicles have been known to get stuck in the softer sections.

Ep. 122: Padre Island National Seashore | Texas RV travel camping
We share all sorts of sights and sounds around Padre Island and its namesake National Seashore in this episode, including camping at Padre Balli County Park and boondocking right on the sand at North Beach, which should be a bucket list camping experience for any beach lover or surf fisherman. We also go kayaking on Laguna Madre at Bird Island Basin, and visit the bayside city of Corpus Christi, and Port Aransas on adjacent Mustang Island, where they're still recovering from Hurricane Harvey's landfall two years later. But we start off with an interview with the king and queen of Texas camping, Tom & Stacie Langland from @RVTexasYall.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
