Boca Chica Beach & Access 5 & 6 to be closed

Posted: 10.09.2011 at 5:07 PM

Members of the Action 4 News team worked together to bring you this report.

Cameron County officials have shut down South Padre Island's Beach Access 5 and 6 as well as Boca Chica Beach due to high tides, dangerous driving conditions and rip currents.

Cameron County Judge Carlos Cascos has asked law enforcement to assist in making sure these accesses remain closed until further notice.

The move comes ahead of a cold front bringing heavy rains and severe weather to the Rio Grand Valley.

Action 4 News will provide more information as it becomes available.
