North Padre Island National Seashore
5.00You just go out park road 22 and take the turn off before the booth at the National Seashore. Park near the poles in the sand and walk out until you see nude people or are far enough out that few people will come out that far. Mostly singles but a few couples will make a day of it. I`ve been out there from 8 in the morning until 6 at night. I will go in the water if I see children or dogs coming up. Don`t need that trouble. Otherwise I don`t cover up for people that come out. No use being nude if you can`t stay that way. Rangers are pretty tolerant. I`ve been walking down the beach without a s…
Pros: Solitude
Cons: Sometimes have to walk a long way out, perv gays.

Great For Just Enjoying The Beach With No Distractions
4.00NUDE RATING: Traditionally nude with discretion suggested. (nudity is allowed despite any official law making this an officially `nude beach`) Park Rangers are very friendly and reminded us to cover up in case any fishermen drive by with their kids in the vehicles. (visitors may be advised or required to cover up, even if only very briefly) PRIVACY: Excellent. You can set up your wind shades, umbrellas, etc. Please NO LITTERING! SAFETY: Good. Vehicles are courteous. Trash is minimal (depending what the tide brought in.) Careful about walking barefoot. Hot sand, broken shell warning. ACCESS: Al…
Pros: privacy, calm, ZEN, minimal gawkers
Cons: access, road condition (soft sand)
