Gulf Beaches Unfavorable due to Hurricane Delta
Locally, beach driving conditions are expected to be poor and unfavorable as water reaches the Gulf beach dunes near the time of high tide.
Press Release
CORPUS CHRISTI – As Hurricane Delta continues moving North through the western Gulf of Mexico today, the City wants to advise the public of the potential impact to Gulf beaches in Corpus Christi.
Locally, beach driving conditions are expected to be poor and unfavorable as water reaches the Gulf beach dunes near the time of high tide. Some beach access roads will be impassable. A high risk of rip currents will continue today as a result of large swells and long wave periods.
The public is highly encouraged to use precaution while driving on the beach access roads and is advised to avoid driving on the beach where there may be water in the driving lanes or at the base of the dunes. Be aware that extremely high tides can deposit debris onto beach that could potentially damage vehicle tires.
Red Flag Rip Current Warning conditions and high-water levels will remain present up through Saturday.
Gulf Beaches to Reopen
Visitors should use caution if driving on the beach as driving lanes have not been cleared of debris or graded.
Press Release
As the effects of Tropical Storm Beta subside locally, the City of Corpus Christi announces the reopening of the following three beach access roads: Gulf Beach Access Road 3A, Zahn Road and Newport Pass Road.
Visitors should use caution if driving on the beach as driving lanes have not been cleared of debris or graded.
The Whitecap Seawall will need to remain closed to vehicles because the water is within 150 feet of the Seawall, as per City Ordinance.
Roads that remain closed until further notice are Whitecap and Access Road 2 and Access Road 3 due to high water levels.

Gulf Beaches To Remain Accessible by Vehicle for Labor Day Weekend
Gulf and Bay Beaches will remain accessible by vehicle for Labor Day Weekend, September 5 to 7, 2020.
Press Release
The City of Corpus Christi is informing residents and visitors that the Gulf Beaches will remain accessible by vehicle for Labor Day Weekend, September 5 to 7, 2020. The Bay Beaches will remain open also. Beach visitors are asked to follow CDC recommendations and take daily precautions for health and safety. Play It Safe while enjoying the beach!
Recommended Safety Procedures:
While on the beach, observe and follow the flag warning system to be aware of surf and/or rip conditions. The flags are located throughout the beach and at lifeguard stands.
Individuals should avoid being in a group larger than 10 individuals. Within these groups, individuals should, to the extent possible, minimize in-person contact with others not in the individual’s household.
Minimizing in-person contact includes maintaining 6 feet or more of separation from individuals.
When maintaining 6 feet of separation is not feasible, other methods should be utilized to slow the spread of COVID-19 such as wearing a face covering or mask, washing or sanitizing hands frequently, and avoiding sharing utensils or other common objects.
Due to extreme heat conditions, stay hydrated! Drink plenty of water.
