Padre Island National Seashore, the longest undeveloped stretch of a barrier island in the world, has more than 133,000 acres of protected, natural beaches, white dunes, thriving grassland, saltwater marshes, and a host of untouched wildlife. Experience the island in its natural state with primitive camping, which is allowed in any spot along the entire length of the beach. Year-round inhabitants include coyotes, white-tail deer, peregrine falcons, kangaroo rats, and jackrabbits.
If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind experience, you might want to check out King Ranch, one of the biggest ranches in the world, with a whopping 825,000 acres of land. You'll get a fascinating inside look at how cattle handling works on such a massive property and explore some historically significant buildings to learn about the King family, who built this impressive empire. Amazingly, Dallas was modeled after this very same ranch back in the 80s. Even though you won't bump into JR himself, taking the tour is still an incredible way to spend your time, especially if you're interested in ranching or want to experience something truly unique.
