I highly recommend going to the Padre National Seashore - Malaquite Beach. Yes, you have to pay, but that keeps the crowds to a minimum. The beach is clean and they have a visit center, as it is part of the NPS. Plus, you do not see vehicles down on the beach like you would at a public beach.

Yes and no :) There is a section blocked off from cars- which is great with kids. Also nice if you don’t want to get your car sandy. There is showers at that section ( close to visitors center). No dogs or fires permitted. There is also a section that you can drive on. You can either just drive a few hundred yards (this would be the section if you want a campfire), or drive down further where four wheel drive is needed ( little shell then big shell).
