Things to do in South Padre Island

South Padre Island sits at the southern end of a long barrier island, connected by causeway to Port Isabel across the Laguna Madre. It is first and foremost a beach town, with wide sandy beaches on the Gulf side, shallow bay waters that make it one of the best kiteboarding and windsurfing spots in the country, and charter boats heading offshore for snapper, kingfish and billfish. The local economy runs on hospitality, real estate and second homes, and the Rio Grande Valley’s growing business activity, including the spaceflight operations near Boca Chica, keeps a steady flow of visitors coming through.
