Nicest area is Mustang Island and Padre Island. Both allow boondocking right on the beach.
Is that North or South Padre Island. I am looking for a place on SPI for late October.
I'm referring to North Padre Island. You can get to it by bridge from Corpus Christi, or by driving down Mustang Island from Port Aransas. North Padre is separated from South Padre by a channel, but no bridge, so you have to go all the way around to near Brownsville to access South Padre. Also, last time we were on South Padre we found very few areas to camp on the beach, whereas North Padre and Mustang Island provided almost unlimited access. Also, I don't agree with the statement that North Padre is colder and windier than South Padre. You're talking about a few miles, so the weather isn't any different.
