The National Park Service has reopened beaches at the Padre Island National Seashore to driving and camping. However, NPS warns that although driving conditions at PINS have improved, there is a coastal flood advisory in effect through Wednesday morning. The park service closed the beaches because of extreme high tides on Wednesday. PINS says recent extreme tides have left sharp embankments in places that will be difficult to avoid during high tides. Trees washed in from Hurricane Harvey may also impede travel at higher tides, particularly in the twenty miles leading to the Mansfield Channel. The park service advises visitors to monitor beach condition reports for the latest driving conditions until tides recede. The park visitor center may be reached at (361) 949-8068 between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
