High tides, cold front shut down beaches to vehicular traffic

Posted: 12.10.2012 at 5:41 PM

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

Authorities have shut down three local beaches due to high tides caused by a cold front that blew through the Rio Grande Valley early Monday morning.

Cameron County Judge Carlos Cascos issued the order on Monday afternoon.

Cascos ordered that officials have temporarily closed Boca Chica Beach to vehicular traffic due to high tides caused by this morning's cold front.

Officials have also closed Beach Access 5 and Beach Access 6 on South Padre Island until further notice.

Cascos said officials will continue to monitor the weather and reopen the beaches when conditions permit.
