San Antonio and South Padre Island Getaway
An Island of Delight
South Padre Island, on the Gulf of Mexico in Southeast Texas, is a popular vacation spot for every group from college students on spring break to families looking for some fun in the sun. Regardless of which group you fall into, or if you're somewhere in between, the island has much to offer. Rent a cabin or bungalow along the beach, and make it the centerpoint of your stay on South Padre.
For the family, the endless miles of beach become home. With the family splashing in the waves and building sandcastles, parents can relax in the sun or under some shade, read a magazine 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.. It's a hands-on activity for the entire family to learn more about the endangered species. Laguna Madre is a wonderful boardwalk-style nature walk. And for the peak of thrills, 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 family, finding a large multi-bedroom location is the way to go. Most have large central areas for mingling and game-playing, with separate bedrooms off to the sides. Head down to the beach for some sun, surf, and sand, wave-running and para-sailing. Later on, jump on a Destination Cruise and do some sightseeing and partying, or go for a horseback ride through the island's interior.
