Beach Access 22 to undergo construction until November

SOUTH PADRE ISLAND, Texas (ValleyCentral) — A beach access located on the northern part of South Padre Island will undergo construction, according to city officials.

Renovations and improvements will be made to Beach Access 22, including a permanent restroom, a rinse station, parking lot improvements, an ADA dune walkover and a wooden emergency vehicle drive-over.

"The City has worked proactively to improve beach accesses and related amenities over recent years to allow for the enjoyment of our residents and visitors," said Kristina Boburka, Shoreline Director with South Padre Island.

Construction on Beach Access 22 is expected to last for 150 business days with estimated completion by November.

Visitors will be able to access the beach in nearby locations on Gulf Boulevard.

"The community's safety is the city's top priority. We look forward to sharing these improvements with you soon," Borburka said.
