White Cap Beach

Located between Padre Balli Park and the beginning of the seawall on the island, White Cap beach runs about 1.5 miles long. Accessible from Park Road 22 by turning east onto White Cap Boulevard. This beach has no facilities or paved area. Driving is permitted on the beach here but parking requires a beach parking permit available at any store on the island. The beach is patrolled to assure compliance with this ordinance. In the summer months lifeguards are on duty at this beach.

 This beach is favored by locals as a place to watch the sunrise with a cup of coffee, get away from the crowds at other beaches and the ease of access. Beach Access roads 3 and 3A also lead to White Cap Beach. Two convenience stores sit at the entrance to this beach providing easy access for beach supplies such as food, drinks, ice and more.

Whether summer or winter months you can usually find people surf fishing right at the beginning of white cap beach where the seawall starts. This is a great area to view wildlife, explore the edge of the dune's grass line (going to far into will probably result in meeting a rattlesnake) and just enjoy what Texas beaches have to offer.
