Located along a narrow barrier island separating the super-salty Laguna Madre from the Gulf of Mexico, the Padre Island National Seashore protects 66 miles of Texas shoreline.

The entire island stretches for 113 miles, making it the longest barrier island in the world. Here, the unique ecosystem provides a crucial nesting ground for sea turtles, and hatchlings scramble across the beach to begin their lives in the water each summer. The island is also an important stop for migrating seabirds, with sandhill cranes, snow geese, redhead ducks, and other birds flying down from northern nests to spend the winter months here.
