Imagine a
beautiful tropical Island with miles and miles of unspoiled beaches. It
lies in the sun beside the sparkling Gulf of Mexico. It is a place where
sparkling beaches, warm water, friendly hospitality and relaxing
activities come together. It's not your imagination, it's the ideal
vacation paradise, it's South Padre Island.
Located
on the tropical tip of Texas, getting here is easy. Whether you drive,
fly or arrive by boat, the Island is easily accessible. If traveling in
by air, vacationers can fly into one of three airports in the Rio Grande
Valley. Ground transportation is available at all three airports along
with most major car rental companies and taxi service. If traveling by
car, the scenic route to the Island is made easy by well maintained
four-lane highways. If arriving by boat, the Intercoastal channel
provides assess to all boats, from the smallest to the largest.
