Separating the Gulf of Mexico from one of the limited hypersaline lagoons on earth, the Laguna Madre, is the Padre Island National Seashore. It is known for being the world’s longest expanse of undeveloped barrier island and serves as a protective piece of land that safeguards nearly 66-miles of coastline, thriving tidal flats, prairies, and even dunes. At such a special place, it’s only fitting that there would be a great number of activities to enjoy. Travelers to Padre National Seashore can watch a sea turtle hatchling release, travel down the length of the island with a 4-wheel drive vehicle, go camping, try out a Junior Ranger Program, or do typical waterfront activities like birding, fishing, canoeing, kayaking and more. Guests are welcome at the Padre National Seashore every day of the year, 24 hours a day, as long as weather permits.
