Texas Beach Camping - Padre Island National Seashore ( PINS )

We took off on an impromptu trip to PINS to kick off our camping season this year. No signal, no alerts,. Just us and 60 miles of beach, unlimited wildlife and lots of fun.

Going again this weekend and I can’t wait. PINS nurtures the soul. I’ve traveled to almost every continent on the planet and there is no other place like it. No cell reception, no 90degree angles, very few people, and nature everywhere. ❤️

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

I couldn’t agree with you more! Have fun and be safe out there 😁

[@penelopemoon2848]

It’s our hidden treasure. Glad you respect and love it like us. Enjoy and welcome. 💞

[@jamesh1641]

That’s one long ride in a Wrangler.

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

Sure is, but we're used to it :)

[@onlinecarshow3188]

Way to be real! Great video

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@no1nozy]

Never air down till necessary. PINS is my play ground, but Never underestimate the dangers...your on your own.

[@rkmatt8761]

Ive been going to corpus for awhile been to the national seashore but this time I was able to go to the 4x4 only area. Great video put together real good. Glad to see y’all sharing the moments together. Always great to see a beautiful couple happy with life and happy together. Stay safe stay healthy and stay in love

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it! Life is short, do all you can while you can 😉

[@phazek2]

COOL COUPLE

[@fhpd350]

Greetings from Granbury Texas and a fellow Jeeper. I love PINS. It's a magical place and y'all did it justice! Subbed!

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

Thank you so much! It’s definitely one of our favorite places. So glad you enjoyed it ☺️

[@SheldonD7878]

I had to stop during your intro and leave a comment, I can already tell I'm going to like this video because camping out at the is one of my favorite things to do, many years ago when I was ín college me and my girlfriend at the time used to drive to the beach late on a Friday or Saturday night and sleep in the back of my s-10 Chevy Blazer so we could be the first ones on the beach the next day! And the sunrise was always incredible! 😱

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

Awesome!! Thanks for taking the time to comment! We hope you enjoyed the video and you get back out there camp some more 😁 the beach is definitely one of our favorites.

[@blackviper02]

You guys are freaking hilarious. I just came across your video.

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

Hey thanks!! So glad you enjoyed it 😋

[@RLN1972]

great video!!!

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😁

[@kevinmartin4787]

Great job! Watching from Killeen Texas!

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

Thank you!! Are you watching from Ft. Hood?

[@kevinmartin4787]

[@stevegroves3383]

Loved this video. Location was awesome. However you two make a great couple. So happy to see that you love each other. Thanks for taking me along. Loved the naming of the seagulls. Btw my name is Steve. Thanks for mentioning me. Lol. Looking forward to all of your videos.

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

Hey, thank you so much!!! She’s my partner and best friend😋 Steeeeve!! 😂😂😂

[@lisagordon2704]

We were there the same time - that wind was insane! We go at least 2 weekends a month and have never experienced a night of wind like that lol

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

Yes! That was insane wasn’t it 😂😂😂 definitely a first for us too!

[@TheCoupleThatShootsTogether]

The last time we were at PINS was with a group of Jeep friends. We kept getting warned by others that they were expecting up to 50mph wind gusts....unfortunately they weren't wrong! Lol We closed up the RTT around 2:30am and crawled into the Gladiator to get some sleep!! We will be in Port A this weekend for Beach n Jeeps! 😎

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

That sounds awesome, wish I could be there this weekend too. Yeah, the wind can get pretty brutal down there for sure, and definitely one more thing to prepare for. In that case, prepare to sleep in the Jeep 🤪

[@TheCoupleThatShootsTogether]

@@saltandsweeteaoverland Since that trip to PINS we now take our sleep in overland square drop trailer! Makes the wind more tolerable. Lol We had to cook in our shower tent more than once at the beach! It was nice the last time (in April) we were at Port A and there was no wind at the ocean looked like a lake! 😀👍

[@robertstout260]

Never know about going there ,it can be perfect ,windy with sand,super high tides,early spring or late fall get a good cold front ,but still fun and amazing.

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

Facts! The sea always calls you back ☺️

[@cantrellgirl]

We love your set up! Can I ask where you got that trailer?? We are looking for something similar.. happy travels!

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

Hey thanks!! I built that one myself. It started as a jet ski trailer- I beefed up the frame and axle, and built a steel box on it.

[@stevetautog880]

loved the vid thank you oh and btw what kind of animal do you think made those tracks those paws looked like it could be a big cat, I mean like a lion but I know there are not any lions there????

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

So glad you enjoyed it! I’m pretty sure they were coyote tracks. They’re pretty common around that area.

[@SaltySouthernOutdoors]

Great video, however you guys were actual 1 hour and 50 minutes away from the end of Texas 😊

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

HAHAHA!!! That's fair 😜 We really appreciate you watching!! I'll be working on another PINS video soon where we'll be driving to the end of the island. Stay tuned 🤩

[@jerrykrautenstaben6584]

I just got back from spending 4 days fishing on PINS, caught a nice black drum at mile 50.

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

That’s awesome! I bet it put up a fight!

[@franktirelli]

Just watched this video. We are in fort worth and would love to make the same trip. I really like your camping rig with tent on top. Homemade design or something you purchased?

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

Thank you! You’ll have a blast! I built that trailer- it started as a jet ski hauler. We call it Frankenstein 🤪

[@franktirelli]

@@saltandsweeteaoverland also I thought you did a great job narrating and editing the video. It looks like you had fun making the video, kept it kind of raw but smoothed out the rough edges

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

@@franktirelli thank you, that means a lot! That was our second video edited with Premier Pro. Really our second serious video since we started this in February of this year. I appreciate your feedback ☺️

[@toddstevens6305]

I’m driving in on May 6th. How was the weather for y’all.

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

Weather was great, got a little windy, but otherwise awesome weather 😋

[@frankiemac8891]

Nice Adventure. Enjoyed it with you. Music a little too loud compared to the rest of the audio.

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

Glad you enjoyed it!! I agree on the audio levels- we’re newbs at this, will definitely get better! Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it!

[@PEDALSnPROJECTS]

How nice! ..but is the sand bad for the jeep?

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

Thanks!! Nah, it’s the salt you have to worry about. As long as you stop and rinse off the whole Jeep (especially underneath) you’ll be fine.

[@PEDALSnPROJECTS]

@@saltandsweeteaoverland awesome!

[@Bluto4r]

I got a camera relocation kit for mine. Its ok, but not as nice as the factory camera. Mine came with the table (bought it used). Overall, im pleased with it.

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

Sweet, they’ll get you just about anywhere you want to go!

[@Flo-ig6cj]

One Carne Asada burrito, please. Make it two.

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

Coming right up! 😁 love some carne asada!

[@bignsexie1]

Did you build that trailer setup?

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

I sure did 😋

[@ellenjohnson9893]

Come down for Beach and Jeep Port A marker 33 Father's Day weekend majority Jeepers all over

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

Aww, won’t be able to make that one, but wish we could. Thanks for the invite!! 🥰

[@levihamilton9255]

How low do you air down?

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

About 18-20 lbs. 15 on the trailer.

[@chrislewis9345]

So June?

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

This was actually shot in April 2023 😋

[@2172Blade]

Whare did you get the trailer?

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

I built that one. Started with a jet ski trailer frame, beefed it up, added a box and a rack and a 3500 lb axle and springs. It’s getting a facelift as we speak and we’ll be posting some footage soon 😋

[@misslindalou6479]

What is the waffle game?

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

So, it’s kind of like the slug bug game, but with yellow cars. Each car is a point and if there’s a group of 3 or more, you call a waffle bomb and get as many as you can count while driving by. 🤪

[@nitrocw]

PINS sucks. $25 bucks a night to camp there if you can find a spot. I went to the tent camping spot and the spots aren’t even numbered but you have to pay by putting your money in this collection thing. It’s bullshit.

[@saltandsweeteaoverland]

Pins has 60 miles of beach to camp on. I’m not sure where you’re talking about, there’s no designated spots there either.

[@sseaborn23]

Yea wrong beach buddy, definitely not pins😂
