Introduction

As you walk the beach of South Padre Island, the sights, sound and smells of the sea shore begin to dissolve bruises and frayed nerves built up by a hectic city pace. The more familiar sights such as birds, sand dunes, driftwood, grasses and sea shells occupy the mind's thoughts as one savors the delights of the beach. The obvious sights and sounds are enough to please the most discriminating person.

Labeled as a top fishing destination by Field & Stream magazine, the #3 best beach by the Travel Channel and a “great little town to get away from it all” by People Magazine (update: SPI just awarded #2 best place for a vacation home in the nation!), South Padre Island lies on the southernmost tip of Texas and is situated on the south end of Padre Island, the longest Barrier Island in the world and the largest stretch of undeveloped ocean beach in North America. South Padre Island is over 34 miles long….and get this….about 26 miles of it is pristine white sand with lush flora, fauna and beautiful wildlife. Those 26 miles are open for leisure off road driving, camping, shore fishing and wildlife viewing while the other 8 miles are devoted to all the necessities for a pampered life: lavish resorts, private condos, a shopping mall, fine dining, exotic clubs, horse back riding and….yes…lots and lots of T-Shirt shops!
