Beach camping is being discussed with possible ordinance forthcoming. The beach parking sticker price
increase is still in negotiation with the three entities: Nueces County, City of Corpus Christi, and Port Aransas.
The goal is to increase from $12 to $15. The newest issue to be discussed has to do with Lively Beach, to
potentially extend the boardwalk. Over the years, sand has accumulated, creating sand dunes with vegetation.
There is difficulty getting from the beach to the boardwalk with the sand dunes.
