Nueces County will replace the Bob Hall Pier parking lot, which was permanently damaged by Hurricane Hanna in July 2020. The project will move the location of the parking lot from behind the beach to behind the dunes in an already disturbed/paved area in Padre Balli Park. Moving the parking lot will reduce stormwater runoff from entering the water and reduce possible vehicle encounters with endangered species. The majority of the design for the parking lot is currently underway and funded separately.
