25 bricks of cocaine worth $2.3 million wash up on South Padre Island

South Padre Island tends to carry a reputation of being a haven for partiers, but even the most hardcore of party animals may think this is taking things a little too far.

25 bricks of cocaine washed ashore Boca Chica Beach last week, with another brick washing up Padre Island National Seashore for a total of 75 pounds of cocaine, amounting to $2.3 million!


Per KXAN, Boca Chica Beach is less than half a mile from the launchpad for SpaceX's South Texas Starbase operations, and is often a popular beach destination for South Texas families.

And while it is also a nesting ground for endangered sea turtles, the area is also known as a transportation hub for drug cartels in Mexico who use the region to transport illegal substances into the United States.
