About This Beach
Whitecap Beach features pristine white sand and consistent waves that make it a favorite among surfers and kiteboarders on North Padre Island. The beach is divided into two sections—one allowing vehicles and one reserved for pedestrians only—catering to different preferences. The beach is known for its scenic views of both sunrises and sunsets over the water. Nearby Bob Hall Pier provides fishing opportunities without needing to get in the water. The relatively undeveloped area around Whitecap Beach offers a more natural experience than many Texas beaches while still providing basic amenities.
