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

Having tried to get into the park a couple weeks ago, but was turned away because the park was at capacity and we didn't have a reservation. This time we had a reservation. Surprisingly, the drive back to the beach was partially flooded due to all the recent rains. 2WD vehicles were still making it through as long as they had a bit of clearance, but few inches of water and/or mud would not have been good on very low 2WD vehicles. Once we got onto the beach, you couldn't even tell that the area had such heavy rains lately... was a GORGEOUS day on the beach!
