Introduction to South Padre Island
286 miles S of San Antonio; 366 miles SW of Houston; 531 miles S
of Dallas; 815 miles SE of El Paso
South Padre Island is a true resort town, with about 3,000
year-round residents, and an influx of several thousand more
when the winter chill sends northerners south in search of
sunshine and warmth. Water sports are a major draw, from power
boating, sailing, and windsurfing to bay, surf, and deep-sea
fishing. And some of us simply want to relax on the beach,
allowing the gentle murmur of the water to soothe our senses and
wash away the stress of this hectic modern world. More energetic
visitors can also bicycle, play tennis and golf, and go
horseback riding. Birding is as popular here as in other areas
of South Texas, with more than 300 species.
The sunsets are grand, reflecting in the water of the Laguna
Madre, and many restaurants capitalize on their location with
outdoor seating. Set your taste buds to enjoy fresh seafood of
all kinds prepared in a variety of seasonings -- Italian to
Mexican, broiled to deep-fried. And if you catch your own, some
restaurants will be happy to cook it for you (the ones that do
advertise it).
The town of South Padre Island stretches along 25 miles of sand
on the southern tip of Padre Island just across the Laguna Madre
from the mainland, and the small town of Port Isabel. Easily
accessible by plane into nearby cities, it has become a favored
place for conventions. Conventions here are usually small
affairs and don't really cause the traveler any inconvenience,
but beware spring break when hordes of college students invade
the town and raise a ruckus.
