An Amazing Island of Pleasure
South Padre Island on the Gulf of Mexico in southeast Texas is a popular vacation destination for every person from college students on spring break to families looking for some entertainment in the sun. Regardless of which group you fall into, or if you're somewhere in between, the island has plenty to offer. Rent a cabin or bungalow along the beach, and make it the centerpoint of your time on South Padre.
For the family, the endless miles of beach become home. With the children splashing in the waves and building sandcastles, parents can relax in the sun or under some shade and read a novel and relax. For those times when the family is tired of playing in the sand, the island offers a wonderful sea turtle experience called Sea Turtle, Inc., which is a hands-on activity for the entire family to learn more about the endangered species. Laguna Madre is a wonderful boardwalk-style nature stroll for viewing nature. And for the peak of entertainment, there's a South Padre version of the Texas-famous Schlitterbahn Water Park on the island as well.
If you're on spring break, or getting a break from the children, finding a large multi-bedroom property is the way to go. Most have large central areas for visiting and game-playing, with separate bedrooms off to the sides. Head down to the beach for some sun, surf, and sand, wave-running and parasailing. Later on, jump on a Destination Cruise and do some sightseeing and partying, or go for a horseback ride through the island's interior. Oh, and don't forget the Schlitterbahn. It's not just for kids.
