Malaquite Beach in Padre Island National Seashore just south of Corpus Christi has a paved parking area where you can camp for a couple dollars a nite. No hookups, but there are restrooms, showers and a dump station. The parking lot is within about 100 ft of the beach. You can also drive onto the beach and camp if you'd like. The beach road for about 5 miles south is a State Rd and in good enough condition for any vehicle, beyond that you could have some problems.
But, as others have said - sand and salt water spray. Even in the parking lot you'll get some salt water spray. The sunrises are nice though as is the warm breeze coming on shore.
There's also a parking area where you can camp on the lee side where the salt spray and breeze isn't as strong.
