Haven't been to the beach in forever and decided to go about last weekend when I was down in McAllen visiting my parents. South Padre Island is only about an hour away so why not. Found a little island and parked and enjoyed some rum with some friends. The Pathy looks pretty far out, and it was, but the water was at it's deepest about mid calf, if that. You can tell by the people even further out playing in the water that I wasn't trying to submerge my vehicle
This was on the bayside where it's more calm. The beach side is where its at if you want to see people, but I got turned back because they only accepted cash ($12) for the access point fee. Either way it was nice. Wish I had video of the Pathy playing around in the dunes. Next time!
