So far, the biggest problem at the beach seems to be some loose sand and stuck vehicles. The police have only issued several citations for public intoxication. (Click the blog post title for the Caller-Times article.)I actually drove out to Port Aranasas after a Friday evening wedding. There were at least a dozen police officers between JFK Causeway and Port A. Many were hiding and several vehicles were pulled over.
The beach in Port A was beautiful. The sun was out and the light NNW wind made for near-perfect conditions. There seemed to be more winter Texans out than spring breakers. I headed back to Corpus Christi by early afternoon. The traffic heading out to the beach from town was getting heavier. A friend of mine told me that by 3:00 PM, the traffic was backed up from Access Road 3 all the way to the JFK Causeway bridge. The right lane, however, was still moving for those wanting to go south of Bob Hall Pier or to the Padre Island National Seashore--the more sane places where decent folks go.
The weather somewhat deteriorated on Sunday. It got a little cooler and the wind picked up and changed direction. Be sure to take a jacket if you decide to head out. And watch out for drunk drivers and police--there are lots of both of them.
