National Seashore has entrance fee ($4 day or $7 wk I think, not sure) and
camp fee ($6 nite I think).  Has small museum, snack store, cold water
showers, and is right on the Gulf beach.  Very clean and nice.

On way down to National Seashore (only 1 road leading off of SPID freeway)
has about 8 miles of Gulf beach where you can drive on beach parallel to
road and can camp on beach for free and build beach fires.  Entire Gulf
beach has good surfing, 2' to 10' waves depending on wind.  Lots of birds,
coyotes, and some rattle snakes.

Great kayaking all around Corpus Christi...see my web page for 18 pictures
of places to paddle:

Can rent only sit-on-tops at Franks Wind n Wave, 10721 SPID Dr, CC, TX 78350
361-937-9463

Dallas kayaking group recently had a "Surf-fest" at National Seashore for 3
days (about 12-15 kayakers).  Bob Griebel has a web page with pictures and
