Get a look at the largest outdoor sandcastle in the United States, a permanent landmark built right on South Padre Island!

This sandcastle was recently rebuilt after it was heavily damaged during spring break in 2018, but it is now repaired and bigger than before. Other stops on the Sandcastle Trail include the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland which is located outside of Paragraphs Bookstore, a giant walrus, a sculpture of King Neptune, and a couple of egrets situated outside of the South Padre Island Birding and Nature Center.

Watersports are another popular activity on South Padre Island among both locals and tourists. For a leisurely day exploring the calm waters of Laguna Madre, rent a kayak, paddle board, or canoe.

If you want a more thrilling water activity, rent a jet ski and zip around the bay or admire South Padre Island from above on a parasail. There are several water sport shops that can take you parasailing. Get strapped into a single or double parasail and fly over South Padre Island and the Gulf of Mexico 600 feet above the water.
