Padre Island National Seashore was amazing. We did not get to drive the 50 plus miles of beach but I wish we had four wheel drive. We camped here and the sunset and sunrises were amazing.  They had just completed a controlled burn so there was a slight smell and it wasn't as pretty as it could have been. I had to come to Corpus Christie to shoot a wedding.

Padre Island National Seashore is the world's largest barrier island. It is quiet here and there is some good fishing. Me and the girls dove into the salty waters to pull sand dollars from the sandy ocean floor. While Stephen and Halley were fishing a shark came right up and swam by. Halley was not to keen on this but I bet it was amazing to see. We missed it because me and Jen were shooting a wedding.

They have a program for sea turtles here and you can see them nesting on the beaches. Watch for dolphins here as well. Five stars. I loved it. You have to pass through a ton of cameras when entering but the fees are minimal.
