The town of South Padre Island, located on the south most end of Padre Island off the Texas Gulf Coast - is an end of the road Island paradise.
Tourism is the only industry here.
Visitors to South Padre can indulge themselves in a variety of activities , including some really fine restaurants , an active club scene and a brand new golf course . There are plenty of choices if you are into water sports - including surfing, wave runners, parasailing, kayaking and banana boats. Our consistent gulf breezes make this a popular wind surfing and kiting destination, and the fish are always biting in the Gulf and in the Laguna Madre. But it's the people who live here that make this such a hard place to leave. The place tends to attract creative characters and salty beach dogs, yet boasts a surprisingly low crime rate for a tourist spot.
