#beach
The Padre Island National Seashore separates the Gulf of Mexico from the Laguna Madre, one of a few hypersaline lagoons in the world.  The park protects 70 miles of coastline, dunes, prairies, and wind tidal flats teeming with life.  It also has beautiful stretches of road with road access to the beach. Very scenic and very enjoyable!!!
Seaweed beach for miles and miles

The lock on the door was missing and no chain lock either. Chipped paint and the closet doors were hard to move from side to side.
