The America the Beautiful - Access Pass allows US citizens and permanent residents with permanent disabilites to enjoy public federal sites free of charge. Visitors looking to obtain a pass must either provide adequate documentation or sign an affidavit at the park in order to obtain the pass. If you are looking for the Senior Pass for 62+, the following nearby parks may sell the Senior Pass to you:

• Padre Island National Seashore
• Amistad National Recreation Area

Cell Service

• Free, public WiFi is available to visitors in the Visitor Center and on mission grounds at all four sites.

• WiFi is available at the visitor information kiosks at Mission San José and Mission Concepción.

Safety

• Bees, wasps, carpenter ants, fire ants, snakes, and scorpions are present along trails and in the woods in the spring and summer months.
