Padre Island National Seashore. |
The water was 86 degrees in the afternoon and very clear. |
Visiting mid-week, towards the end of July, allowed us to have the feeling that we were on a private beach. |
Playing in the surf is a lot of fun but watch out for strong under currents and rip tides. |
If the wind gusts and surf are too strong on the Gulf side of Padre Island, try a trip over to Bird Island Basin that faces Laguna Madre. |
The water was clear and shallow. |
Enjoying the water and sun. |
Wade fishing. |
