About Your Park!

Padre Island National Seashore preserves, protects and interprets the outstanding natural, cultural, and recreational resources of the longest undeveloped barrier island beach in the United States and its surrounding waters for public benefit, inspiration and scientific understanding. The park’s 130,000 acres and waters provide important habitat for marine and terrestrial plants and animal, including over 58 species of special concern.

The park was officially established in 1962 as part of an effort to protect the dwindling wild coastlines of the United States.
