Padre Island National Seashore (PINS), mile 35 beyond the four-wheel drive only sign. In 2013, PINS was closed for the first time due to a non-storm high tide that covered up the beach. This marked the end of the beach erosion period that saw beaches like this one washed offshore. Since 2013, the dunes have instead been eroding and at some places on South Padre Island, the dunes have been completely washed away.
