South Padre Island, Texas
This barrier island off the southern tip of Texas is a year-round oasis. The island features 34 miles of white-sand beaches, clear, warm water, mild weather, and lots to do. Fishing, boating, and visiting the Birding, Nature Center, and Alligator Sanctuary are just a few ways to enjoy the island. Enjoy a house margarita while the sun sets at the beachfront cafe at Isla Grand Beach Resort, where you'll get views of the bright waters of the Gulf from your beachfront cabana.
