Go to Corpus Christi cross the JFK Causeway and follow that road till you see a sign that says turn left to Bob Hall Pier. There is a lot of blue stuff by the turn. It is also known officially as Padre Balli Beach Park. Beach parking permits are widely available, but there is a paved lot next to the pier where parking is free.
Surf is faster and more hollow than other spots in the area. Shortboards or funboards are recommended. You will find the local groms and shredders own this area.
