Continually ranked as one of the top 10 beaches in the U.S.,
South Padre
Island provides the perfect backdrop for outdoor fun. The island's mild
climate lends itself to an array of water-related sports and other outdoor
activities year-round. Visitors can enjoy many activities as listed below.
South Padre Island
is a beach resort town located on the southernmost tip of Texas. This
sub-tropical paradise is one of the fastest growing island destinations
for vacationing families, spring break college students, honeymooners, and
retirees alike. Found at the same latitude as Fort Lauderdale, Florida,
without the high costs, it is now ranked among the top beaches in the United
States. For a relaxing respite or adventure filled excitement, Padre has
something for all.
South Padre Island
is the world's
longest Barrier Island and features the longest stretch of undeveloped beach
in North America. The island is bordered by the Gulf of Mexico and Laguna
Madre Bay, just off the coast from Brownsville, Texas and only 30 miles
north of the Mexican border. Padre Island is known for its beautiful white
sand beaches and turquoise Gulf waters, making it one of the most superb
year-round vacation destinations for swimming, boating, fishing,
bird-watching, and nightlife.
The diversity of
year-round activities and laid-back attitude create an excellent
investment opportunity for those seeking an escape from harsh northern
winters. Know in the Rio Grande Valley as "Winter Texans," retirees have
discovered the mild temperatures, recreational offerings, dining, shopping,
and more that a Padre Island lifestyle presents. With properties much more
affordable than other comparable beachfront locations, Padre Island makes
owning a seaside vacation home more possible than ever.
Over one
million people visit
South Padre Island every year according to
the Convention and Visitors Bureau, with
vacation rental condominiums, beach houses, and villas very popular
choices for vacationers. Many families and groups prefer these
accommodations over south padre hotels for the space, convenience, and
privacy they offer. Winter Texans who choose the option, often find their
winter retreats paying for themselves through late spring, summer, and early
fall rentals with no lack of occupants ready to keep them filled.
