Fun Things to Do During Your Stay on South Padre Island
South Padre Island has a ton of opportunities for fun and excitement during your stay in our vacation rentals on South Padre Island’s beachfront, as well as rest and relaxation.
Close to the Laguna Madre Bay, you’ll encounter just about every type of water-based recreation imaginable, as well as miles of pristine beaches and unfettered beauty. The Laguna Madre is an ideal place for boating, fishing, swimming, and more.
Dolphin Cove Beach situated at the southern tip of South Padre Island is a popular place for jet skiing, fishing, and sunbathing.
Wild Dolphin Eco Tours
There are also wild dolphin eco tours of the Laguna Madre, available for a nominal fee through the South Padre Island Dolphin Research and Sea Life Nature Center. While you’re at the center, you can have up-close encounters with all kinds of marine life through touch tanks, all while learning about the creatures of the sea through interactive exhibits.
The iconic Andy Bowie County Park has a fishing spot nestled along the bay, in addition to access to 20 miles of beaches that you can even drive over. (We recommend taking a vehicle with 4 wheel drive that will be able to navigate over sand and hills if you’re going to drive on the beach.)
And on the other side of the bay, you can visit Port Isabel for sweeping views from the Point Isabel Light (the last public lighthouse open on the Texas coast) and a stop at the Port Isabel Historic Museum to learn about local history. You can also take the time to hike, bike, and watch wildlife in the Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge north of Port Isabel.
The Best Birding Spots
The Laguna Madre Trail also winds its way along the bay, providing visitors with ample opportunities for hiking and bird watching. Another bird watching spot on the island is the South Padre Island Birding and Nature Center, which features a boardwalk and optional guided birding tours. Bayfront vacation rentals have something for everyone!
Family-friendly spots around the island include famous locales like Schlitterbahn Waterpark, Gravity Park, and the quaint Three Flags Over Padre. These parks have amusements for all ages, from waterslides and wave pools to go-karts and mini-golf.
Regardless of where you end up during your South Padre Island vacation, you’re sure to have a great time.
