In 2014, some of the last beach on the wild South Padre Island eroded away. Down by the Condos and fancy motels, the beach is nourished, or replenished from sand dredged from ship channels and offshore. Up the wild beach though, June 2018 to May 2019, normal high tides were eroding into the dunes more than 50 times. This erosion cut went on for miles. In 2019 this remnant beach was completely gone.
