Trail Information

Highlights

Mustang Island brings a rare diversity of experience along its beaches. Unlike any other beach in Texas, the northern-most section of Mustang Island, maintained and managed by Port Aransas, attracts RVers looking to safely enjoy a weekend of RV camping along a Texas beach. Southward, spring break enthusiasts have the opportunity to enjoy fun in the sun along the well-maintained beaches of Corpus Christi. For those new to the off-road community, either segment is an extraordinary opportunity to take virtually any vehicle off concrete and begin enjoying the wonders of the off-road community while still having the safety of civilization.

Short but fun beach at Mustang Island State Park. Worth adding to itinerary if driving down the coast.

We visited Mustang Island on 4th of July weekend... talk about a packed beach! Temporary booths were set up a key entrances where beach goers could purchase parking permits as they entered the beach. We had to laugh at the different modes of transportation we saw... only in Texas would you see horses, a limousine, RVs, and tractors / graders all on the same stretch of beach. lol
