Joint Statement on Beach Order
Nueces County Judge Barbara Canales and City of Port Aransas Mayor Charles R. Bujan Address Public Health and Safety Issues
This is a joint statement from Nueces County Judge Barbara Canales and Mayor Charles R. Bujan (City of Port Aransas).
Residents, Tourists and Visitors are hereby advised that beach closure Orders related to vehicular traffic are in effect for the beaches in Port Aransas, Texas. There are no changes to vehicular prohibitions on beaches in Corpus Christi.
Out-of-town visitors should be aware that there is limited access to beaches in Port Aransas and plans for travel to Nueces County beaches should be carefully planned in efforts to prevent the spread of COVID 19. Enforcement of these Orders is necessary to ensure the safety and health of all those in Nueces County. City of Port Aransas Police, the Nueces County Sheriff and Constables will be assisting in such enforcement. Debris from Hurricane Hanna is also an access and safety concern.
The existence of this COVID 19 pandemic requires all of us to exercise the best judgement for all of our safety. The Judge’s beach orders continue through August 17, 2020, at which time, conditions will be reassessed. Please be safe.
