Congratulations, Texans!

Congratulation everyone on the passage of Prop. # 9 on Tuesday, November 3rd. It is NOW YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO HAVE BEACH ACCESS ON ALL TEXAS BEACHES. Prop. # 9 passed overwhelmingly statewide by 77% to 23% and by an ever larger majority in Nueces County.

A sincere thank you and gratitude to all that help with this campaign and to everyone that went out to vote.

This is a huge victory for all Texans!

Coastal Bend Chapter's Official Statement on Beach Access

"The Surfrider Coastal Bend Chapter is committed to free and unrestricted access for all people to all Texas beaches in accordance with the Texas Open Beaches Act. Surfrider maintains that vehicle access is the key to beaches remaining accessible and not becoming effectively private beaches. In certain cases the Surfrider Coastal Bend Chapter supports the creation of pedestrian areas as long as vehicle access and parking are maintained on the beach itself as it is the case in the IB Magee and Port Aransas Beach Parks."
