Things to Do on South Padre Island, Texas
Not sure what to do during your upcoming vacation to Lone Star State? Let us help you! South Padre Island is a beautiful spot that is close to the Queen Isabella Causeway, the coast, and the very southern edge of Texas. Let’s check out why over 4.5 million tourists head here every single year to check out the beauty of this area!
Take a Car on the Beach
No, it will not be frowned upon if you take a car on the beach for a little sunrise ride! We love coming to the white sand beaches early in the morning with a 4×4 car to enjoy cruising along the beach, watching the sunrise over the bright blue waters, and watching the crashing surf. We recommend renting a 4×4 car or truck to drive along the beach, travel on the Queen Isabella Causeway, and bring a bike on a bike rack to then cycle along the boardwalk.
Take Some Photos of the Natural Wildlife
One of the most unique things that you can do during your trip to SPI is to take photos of the natural wildlife. Admire the flora and fauna by bringing your camera, taking a customized tour, and walking along the wetlands and the wildlife refuges to get an up close and personal view of the birds, grasslands, marine life, and much more. We recommend going to the Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge to walk the numerous miles of trails, try and see a fish jump out of the water, watch the amphibians crawling around on the ground, and keep an eye out for the famous Mexican eagles!
Walk Around the Befriend Wildlife Sanctuary
No, we do not condone going to zoos or areas that treat animals inhumanely – but the Befriend Wildlife at the South Padre Island Birding Center and Alligator Sanctuary is much different! You will never have to worry about animals in cages or unfair practices. At this sanctuary, the animals live on over 50 acres of protected wetlands, featuring marine wildlife, alligators, reptiles, birds, and tortoises. Walk the boardwalk loop to see a little bit of everything!
Take a Horse Ride Along the Beach
If you would rather go at a slower pace along the bright white sand beaches instead of driving a car, we recommend taking a horseback ride! Use a professional company to rent a horse, learn how to ride it, and then take a lesson as you cruise along the beach early in the morning.
Time to Relax at the Sapphire Spa
After all of this excitement and exercise, it may be time to kick back, relax, and de-stress at a local spa. We know that getting a massage, facial, and other spa treatments can help ease your aching muscles and soothe your mind. Head to Sapphire Spa to book a couple’s massage with your partner, get a facial to help with the constant sun exposure, and try a new treatment you have never done before, like cryotherapy!
Marvel at the Sandcastle Lessons
Are you a fan of sandcastles? If you come to the beach with your kids, chances are you have taught him how to build sandcastles! We think that going to Sandcastle Lessons is a great idea for families with kids who come to SPI and want to spend all of their free time out and about. The South Padre Island Sandcastle Trail will bring you to Sandcastle Lessons, an interactive educational experience that has professional sandcastle builders teach you how to build them, the process, the steps, and the technique involved in creating these masterpieces.
Take Your Board Out on the Calm Water
One fun thing to do if you want a bit of exercise without breaking a sweat is taking your paddleboard out on the flat water, like along a river, lake, or waterway. We love renting a paddleboard and trying our luck at SUP on a hot summer day.
Of course, if you would rather up the excitement a little bit, you can also rent other water sport toys! We love renting jet skis, kayaks, and surfboards if you want to go faster as you cruise along the waves or the flat lake water. There is no shortage of rental companies in the area, so you can always find something that works for you and your guests.
Get an Underwater Viewpoint
Last but not least, going deep below the surface can give you a different viewpoint of marine wildlife that you would not see otherwise! Along with snorkeling, going scuba diving is the best way to see the coral, marine life, sharks, dolphins, and unique creatures that do not show their faces above the water’s surface!
We love going snorkeling and scuba diving along Laguna Madre, as it is safe and easy to do. Since this lake is only 6 feet deep, it is a great place for beginners to learn the basics of scuba diving and snorkeling with a qualified teacher. Keep an eye out for lobsters, crabs, sea turtles, and coral!
