Padre Island National Seashore
Alcohol Policy
 

Alcoholic beverages may be consumed at the park; however, open containers are not allowed in moving vehicles. Be safe. If you drink, don’t drive. Visitors found to be driving under the influence are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

The National Seashore has concurrent jurisdiction with the state of Texas and therefore enforces all federal and Texas laws regarding the consumption of alcoholic beverages.
