Why South Padre?
Set One foot on South Padre Island and you know why it is becoming a
preferred destination for folks from all across America. Things can't
get any more tropical in Texas than on this 30-mile long barrier island
just off the coast of the tip of Texas.
With some of the most beautiful sunsets in America, South Padre Island
offers a comfortable winter climate with temperatures rarely, if ever,
reaching the freezing mark. Fishing, sailing, beach combing, long walks
on a deserted beach - these are but a few of the favorite activities for
our visitors and locals alike.
Also noted for it's very active spring break season, South Padre offers
a little bit of everything for just about everyone in the family.
Schlitterbahn Beach Water park offers a great watery theme park
adventure for all ages. Also of interest is the new Beachcomber's Museum
and the Dolphin Research Center, favorite stops for visitors to the
island.
With 33-miles of pristine beach, the Gulf side of the island offers
plenty of water and water-related sports. Surfing, sail boarding,
kiteboarding, parasailing, and wave running are just a few of the
activities available along the beach. The Laguna Madre borders the
western edge of the island and is also a pristine and unique ecological
zone that offers habitat to wildlife of every kind. From beach
volleyball tournaments at Boomerang Billie's, to farkle tourneys at
Louie's Backyard, there are plenty of activities for visitors year
round.
The island is home to the U.S. Coast Guard with a regional base located
on the island's southern end. Pan American University also operates the
Coastal Studies Laboratory on the island, a fully equipped research
center for marine and coastal studies. The lab is open to the public
select days of the week.
Cameron County Parks Department operates a number of beach and park
facilities on the island, some including public boat ramps. Isla Blanca
County Park and Andy Bowie County Park are two of the local favorites.
If angling is your thing, you'll find plenty of opportunity to wet a
line on one of several public piers on the island. Most piers charge a
nominal fee for usage. There are also plenty of bay fishing and
off-shore fishing guides and charter services available all across the
island and in nearby Port Isabel.
The South Padre Island Golf Club is located nearby on the mainland in
Laguna Vista offering a challenging 18-hole course for skilled golfers
and beginners alike.
