CAMERON COUNTY TEMPORARILY CLOSES COUNTY BEACH ACCESS AREAS
In accordance with the Cameron County Dune Protection and Beach Access Plan, as approved by the Texas General Land Office, and for the purpose of public safety and/or property, Cameron County Judge Eddie Treviño, Jr., has ordered the temporary closure of the following Cameron County beaches, effective today, February 22, 2026 at 9:30 a.m.:
- County Beach Access No.4
- County Beach Access No. 5/E.K. Atwood Park Pavilion
- County Beach Access No. 6
These County beaches will be temporarily closed until further notice to all incoming vehicular and pedestrian traffic due to the high tides being brought upon by this most recent cold front that is causing for undrivable land conditions.
Because of this, we ask that all individuals be cautious when visiting our beaches and heed the advice of authorities patrolling our beaches. In addition, be aware of the Flag Advisory System which notes the current surf conditions.
County beach access areas on South Padre Island such as Isla Blanca Park will remain open until further notice.
Cameron County is committed to protecting the life, health, and well-being of everyone on our Coastal Beaches and will inform the public of any updates. Should you have any questions or concerns, please refer to the Cameron County website for related news and updates at www.cameroncountytx.gov, or contact the Cameron County Parks and Recreation Department at (956) 761-3701.
