Padre Island National Seashore is one of the last undeveloped shorelines in the world, and is one of the only beaches of its kind that is open to driving on 60 of the 70 miles that it protects. Malaquite Beach is the stretch of the National Seashore that is closed to driving. If you continue to the end of the paved road (Park Road 22), you will be driving on the beach in no time! Remember that in Texas all beaches are public highways and all traffic laws apply, including seat belt regulations. All vehicles traveling on Padre Island National Seashore must be street legal and licensed. Please note that, with rare exception, Texas will not license all-terrain-vehicles (ATVs) for use on highways (The National Seashore has one of the few exceptions, because it uses ATVs to patrol for nesting sea turtles.).
Directions:

Soft sand
Submitted on Aug 20, 2023
Just got my first 4x4 vehicle (Toyota Fj Cruiser) and moved about 30 minutes away from this trail. As soon as I hit the beach I had to put my rig into 4x4 cause the sand was super soft. You can literally drive for hours on the beach and enjoy the sounds of the waves as you get sand into every crevice imaginable. I wish there were more trails around my area, but I am definitely willing to go hunt them out in Texas.
