Isla Banca Park is a developed beach at South Padre Island with more than 600 RV spaces, two open-air pavillions, a convention center, and a parking lot of 1400 spaces. It is a prime location for viewing SpaceX launches or enjoying family time under the sun.
Since 2019, restoration has been conducted at Isla Blanca Beach Park by the coastal restoration team at Texas A&M University-Kingsville. These restoration efforts include plant recovery from sites when construction is planned, the establishment of a plant repository, transport of sand removed, the use of biodegradable fiber to reinforce dune slopes, dune maintenance, data collection and analysis, and planting monocot and dicot plants to encourage dune growth. The following links give information on the different projects in progress at Isla Blanca Park.
