Deck Talk

Learn about wildlife in the park during a ranger-led deck talk.

Sue Wolfe, Artist in residence

Be sure to always check the calendar or stop by the visitor center to find the programs that will be available during your visit. 

Typically offered during the summer months at Malaquite Visitor Center.  

From the vast coastal prairies and hypersaline lagoon, to the sandy gulf beaches and the tidal mud flats, Padre Island has unique habitats that teem with life. Native Americans, Spanish explorers and cattle ranchers have all walked along the shores here and so can you.  

Join a park ranger or park volunteer to discover what makes Padre Island National Seashore special. A variety of topics including geology, plants, animals, and history may be presented.
