The beach is dirty with many plastic bottles and trash, many seaweeds and flies/insects. I decided not to swim there. It’s secluded and provides the fun drive on the beach if you have 4/4 truck and… Full review by Irinamm139

it's around 2 or so miles south from Boca Chica Rd to the Rio Grande estuary. I don't recommend driving a "regular car" on the sand. However, the sand is pretty packed and flat for around 3/4 of the way there so a "regular car" should be ok. You will have to walk about 1/4 to 1/2 mile from there to the estuary. It is definitely worth the trip! You can walk across the estuary during low tide to Mexico (it's around a 100 foot cross). Or you can swim across anytime. There are usually 10-20 Mexican nationals on the Mexican side at any time. And tons of interesting salt water/ fresh water organisms. You will enjoy it!
