The Parks & Recreation Department has some important information that will help ensure safety and fun for beach visitors.

Traffic will be able to enter the beach areas on Padre and Mustang Islands at all access roads. 

Parking permits are required in designated areas. Beach visitors are encouraged to buy their $12.00 permit before getting to the beach. The permits may be purchased at various locations, including City Hall, H-E-B stores in Corpus Christi, Port Aransas, Aransas Pass and Ingleside, and Stipes stores in Corpus Christi, Port Aransas and Aransas Pass. They are also available at the Wal-Mart in Flour Bluff, Academy Sports on S.P.I.D. and the Country Store and Texas Star out on the island.
