We came down here to Corpus Christi to find some sunshine and warmer weather! Guess what? It's not too much warmer down here. It got down to freezing or near freezing two different nights. We didn't realize Padre Island was so long. It is actually 70 miles long. We always thought "our" Long Beach was the longest drivable beach in the US. We drove down to the end of the paved road, but you could continue on the beach for another 60 miles. You need a four wheel drive vehicle in places, plus you have to be aware of the tides and weather! According to one of the park rangers there are some good fishing and shelling spots. We found very few shells at the several spots we checked. Actually we found many more nice shells on the other side of the Gulf near Tampa.
