South Padre Island, Texas Travel Guide
All too often, this southern island is mistaken for her sister, Padre Island. Originally, the two were one single island. In 1964 South Padre Island became a separate entity with the completion of the Port Mansfield Gulf Channel. Today South Padre is the capital of tourism in this tropical tip of Texas. South Padre stretches for 34 miles, hugging the Texas coastline as a protective barrier against Gulf storms. At its widest point, the island is only a half mile across, providing every one of the 5,000 hotel rooms with an unbeatable view. For some visitors, the chance to enjoy miles of pristine
beach is reason enough to journey to South Padre. Miles of toasted sand
invite travelers to enjoy horseback riding, sailboarding, surfing, sandcastle
building, or just wave hopping in the surf. Attractions:
