The 2021 beach parking permits are now for sale in and around Corpus Christi. The $12 permits can be found at most Stripes stores and H-E-B grocery stores. In Port Aransas, they are only available at City Hall for the time being due to a printing issue, said city Finance Director Darla Honea. Port Aransas law enforcement is granting a grace period for fines during the first two weeks of the 2021.
