Review:

Malaquite Beach has been named as one of America's best beaches by MSN, located along the Gulf Coast in Corpus Christi within the Padre Island National Seashore. The beach showcases a gorgeous white sand shore brimming with sand dollars, with a lack of vehicle traffic making it a perfect spot for children to frolic and play safely. Sea turtles and shorebirds abound, with stunning panoramas making for ideal photo opportunities from nearly any spot on the beach. Overnight camping is permitted, creating a unique opportunity for families to fall asleep under the stars with the calm ocean breeze in the background. Annual public special events include a February kite festival and an annual sea turtle release and celebration. During the summer months, families can drive up to the nearby Schlitterbahn water park, known nationally for its massive, innovative water slides and rides.
