Padre Island is the second-largest island by area in the contiguous United States, after Long Island in New York on the Atlantic Coast. It is about 113 miles (182 km) long and 1.8 miles (3 km) wide, stretching from the city of Corpus Christi, in the north, to the resort community of South Padre Island in the south.
The beaches in this part of Corpus Christi border the Corpus Christi Bay not the Gulf of Mexico. North Padre Island is part of the City of Corpus but 20 miles from downtown Corpus Christi. The island beaches border the Gulf of Mexico and the Padre Island National Seashore. Both Mustang Island and North Padre offer a stay away from city life on some of the most naturally preserved beaches in the world. Port Aransas (while not part of the city Corpus of Christi but still in Nueces County beach and parks) is a small resort community located at the northern tip of the island.
