SpaceX says the parkland proposal excludes Boca Chica Beach

On Nov. 13, 2026 SpaceX said it has discussed buying about 1,200 acres of Texas Parks and Wildlife land around the Starbase launch site, with about 600 acres to be placed under a permanent conservation easement, and that Boca Chica Beach is not included and remains public. The Texas Tribune reported that a draft agenda had referred to disposition of about 1,300 acres, that the item was absent from the final agenda, and that Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa asked the agency to take no action during her transition. No price or closing date is stated, and the agency has not confirmed a sale.
