Padre Island National Seashore
Where To Eat
 

There are no restaurants within the park, but the Concessions Store carries basic picnic, camping, and fishing supplies. 

Restaurants are available on the island, approximately ten miles north of the park. A wide variety of restaurants is available in Corpus Christi (23 miles away) and in Port Aransas (32 miles away). For more information, contact the Corpus Christi Convention and Visitors Bureau at 800.766.2322 or the Port Aransas Chamber of Commerce at 361.749.5919.

The National Park Service arrowhead contains a white buffalo, an animal sacred to many native Americans.  

Did You Know?
Although Padre Nicolas Balli established the first permanent settlement on the island, the island was previously owned by his father and his grandfather, who obtained the original grant from the Spanish crown.
