Cr 1140 North at Loyola Beach in Kleberg County, Texas, offers over a mile of soft white sand with a tranquil, community-oriented atmosphere[1][5]. Located just southeast of Kingsville, this serene coastal spot features rocky outcrops perfect for photography, especially during golden hours when sunlight reflects off the water[2][5]. Visitors enjoy uncrowded spaces ideal for stargazing and shell-collecting along the shoreline, with recent upgrades enhancing facilities like pavilions and boat ramps[4][5]. The beach’s unincorporated status preserves its peaceful charm, making it a favored escape for college students and families seeking quiet waterfront relaxation[2][4].

Nearby dining options cater to Gulf Coast cravings. Baffin Bay Seafood (4.6★) serves fresh catches like shrimp tacos and crab-stuffed flounder in a casual setting with outdoor seating[1]. For a nostalgic experience, King's Inn (4.2★) offers menu-free fried seafood by the pound near Baffin Bay[2]. Agave Jalisco (4.3★) provides Mexican breakfasts and margaritas along US-77, while fast-food needs are met by the 24-hour Burger King nearby[16]. Most eateries emphasize wheelchair accessibility and coastal comfort foods[1][2][16].

Accommodations near Loyola Beach blend simplicity and coastal access. Riviera Inn & Suites ($60/night) provides basic rooms with an outdoor pool just off US-77[3]. For boutique stays, Birds of Paradise Inn (4.5★) features bayside cottages with kitchens and barbecue grills[6]. Larger resorts like Corpus Christi’s Emerald Beach Hotel ($89/night) lie 50 miles northeast but offer full beachfront amenities[7].

Leo Kaufer Park anchors the beach with a fishing pier, playground, and shaded picnic areas[1][4]. Recent upgrades include improved restrooms, pavilions, and boat docks, while the natural rocky shoreline provides informal seating[4][5]. Visitors should note the absence of formal rental services or lifeguards, with amenities leaning toward DIY coastal recreation[1][5].

Fishing dominates at the lighted pier, while photographers flock to the sunset-facing rock formations[1][2]. Nighttime shell collecting under starry skies and casual kayaking in calm waters attract peace-seekers[2][5]. The playground’s seclusion makes it popular for nostalgic evening swings, though swimming is limited by natural rocky barriers[2][5].

Recent upgrades improved wheelchair access to pavilions and restrooms, though natural terrain poses challenges along the shoreline[4][5]. Most nearby restaurants and Riviera Inn offer ADA-compliant entrances and parking[3][16].

Free street parking and compact lots service the area, with no current fee structure mentioned[5]. Limited spaces near the pier fill quickly during summer weekends, encouraging early arrival or evening visits when crowds dissipate[2][5].

Orlando Underbrink developed Loyola Beach as a fishing camp in the mid-20th century, later evolving into a low-key community[3]. The beach’s alignment creates a natural runway for migrating birds, while night visitors report exceptional Milky Way visibility due to minimal light pollution[2][3].

Leo Kaufer Park’s pier and Kingsville’s King Ranch Museum (30-minute drive northwest) serve as primary draws[1][3]. The beach itself doubles as an attraction with its Insta-worthy rock formations and rare conflict-free shelling opportunities[2][5].
