Thrills and Water Recreation
If you’re looking for an adrenaline rush while staying in our beach house condo South Padre Island, try soaring over Laguna Madre with a parasailing trip with Parrot Eyes Watersports. You’ll get the best possible view of the bay from 700 feet in the air. Multiple companies rent out jet skis and WaveRunners so you can cruise down the coastline and feel the wind whip through your hair while you do it.
If you want an exciting spin on the water without taking the wheel, you can go on a thrilling high-speed boat ride with Osprey Cruises. Described as “a roller coaster ride on the waves” these boats go up to 50 MPH and offer terrific and scenic views. For the ultimate adventure that will be sure to make your heart race with excitement, try South Padre Islands Sky Diving. If you’re going to take the plunge out of a plane at 13,000 feet, might as well do it somewhere beautiful where you’ll get otherworldly views of the ocean and the surrounding landscape.
Rentals and Tours
If you’re looking for something a little tamer during your stay in our beachfront homes for rent on South Padre Island, try renting a kayak, paddleboard or paddleboat. Go out for a solo trip or with some friends. With Southern Wave, kayaking rentals start at just $20 for three hours. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to have a great time on South Padre Island. Another fantastic way of exploring the water without getting wet is Captain Murphy’s Isla Tours. They feature an hour and a half long dolphin watching cruise where you can view Atlantic bottlenose dolphins in their natual habitat, as well as various other wildlife and migratory birds. If you fancy yourself a fisherman, they run three deep-sea fishing tours daily, and if you purchase a license, you can take your catch home with you to cook up for a delicious dinner to have at your vacation home!
Stellar Local Cuisine
Our little island has a diverse range of top-notch eateries, ranging from Asian-fusion fare to Tex-Mex, and everything in between! Pier 19 is perhaps one of our most well-known eateries and features a location on a pier over the ocean. Here you’ll find not only spectacular sunset views, but at breakfast and brunch they feature a Texas-shaped strawberry-pecan waffle. If you’d like to sample some local brews, stop by Padre Island Brewing Co. They have five rotating house brews on tap, and feature pub-friendly bites like fried calamari and po’ boys.
