South Padre Island
South Padre Island does not boast to be the "hub" of arts and culture in Texas. But what they do have is a magnificent stretch of beach on the Gulf Coast that beckons clients to sun, surf and sand. South Padre Island (just 54 kilometres long and 8 kilometres wide), offers nature and a laid-back, family-friendly atmosphere. Slow down and go bird watching, fly-fishing, boat cruising or butterfly watching, enjoy an ecotourism adventure or take in a sand castle-building contest (held every October) Divers will be able to see the rare whale shark off South Padre Island’s waters.
