South Padre Island
Beach Town · South Padre Island, Texas
The resort town at the southern tip of Texas's 130-mile barrier island, reached by causeway over the Laguna Madre — the only tropical-feeling beach town in the state, with warm Gulf water, wide white-sand beaches and a national gravitational pull: spring breakers by the hundred thousand in March, winter Texans all season, and sea-turtle and birding pilgrims year-round.
Padre Boulevard (Highway 100), South Padre Island, Texas, 78597, United States
The beach is public and always open; flags flown at staffed stretches in season. Businesses keep island hours. March is spring break — a different island.
