A friendly reminder from the Corpus Christi Parks & Recreation Department that the 2010 Beach Parking Permits are available now. Permits are required on most areas of the gulf beaches which are posted on-site. The permits need to be displayed on the vehicle windshields.

Permits are sold on the beach every week during the summer season from Memorial Day to Labor Day and year-round at the following locations: Academy, Stripes, City of Corpus Christi (Central Cashiering), City of Port Aransas, H-E-B (stores 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, Aransas Pass and Flour Bluff), Corpus Christi Convention and Visitors Bureau, Nueces County Padre Balli Park Headquarters, and Texas Star.

The cost for the permit is $12. We want you to have a wonderful experience and avoid the cost of a ticket for parking on the beach without a Beach Parking Permit which is $150. Beach visitors are encouraged to purchase the parking permit in January for twelve months of beach access and enjoyment. We invite you to PLAY EVERY DAY!

Please Remember to Be Beach Smart…safety first, swim with caution, and please obey all posted signs.
