“At the beach, life is different. Time doesn’t move hour to hour but mood to moment. We live by the currents, plan by the tides, and follow the sun.”
–Sandy Gringas

- Windward Parking Lot-Public access parking lot (free). There is a wheelchair accessible ramp and public showers also available at this location.
- White Cap Access Rd-3– Drive down Leeward until the road ends, then you will enter a sandy area that allows you to access the beach to drive and park (beach permit required)
- Padre Balli Park- Just north of the Padre Island National seashore and south of Packery channel is Padre Balli Park. This park is also located off of park road 22. There is no parking lot, beach permit required.
- Packery Channel– Packery channel is located north of the seawall and is where the JP Luby surf pier used to be. There is a north and south jetty with the south jetty beach only accessible from access road 3A and the north jetty beach accessible from highway 361.
- Seawall & Whitecap Beach: Located just south of Packery channel, the seawall was built several decades ago to help protect the condominiums and hotels located behind the concrete structure from storms and swells. The top of the seawall has a walking area stretching the entire length, which is roughly one mile, and is perfect for biking, skateboarding and walking without getting wet or sandy.
