Hello, welcome to travel with Suri.
At the Southern end of Texas, this island is the definition of beach destination.
This island is the only tropical island in Texas.
It has the longest stretch of white sand beach in the entire state.
[Music] Popular among Spring Breakers, the island is half a mile wide and only 2.5 miles
long.
It is perfect for a year-round family destination.
There are so many unique and fun things to do on the island from the amazing beaches
and surfing to water parks and Eco Adventures.
Welcome to South Padre Island, Texas.
[Music] Sea turtle Inc is one of the most important establishments on South Padre Island.
It is located next to the South Padre Island Nature Center and is worth a visit.
[Music]
[Music] It serves as a hospital for the rescue and rehabilitation of injured sea turtles
before releasing them into the ocean.
[Music]
It has many injured marine turtle species and visitors can even see the turtle feeding
which is a really cool experience for the kids.
[Music]
Drive to the end of South Padre Island.
To get there, you have to leave the town and drive down South Padre Road 100, a road surrounded
on both sides by sand dunes which in itself is pretty cool.
[Music]
[Music] Another morning activity is a horseback riding tour with Island Adventure Park.
[Music] Another spectacular thing to do on South Padre Island is to drive on the beach.
[Music]
There are many beautiful beach destinations in the United States, but few come with a
kind of exceptional sandcastles you will find on South Padre Island.
Here, locals have taken things to a new level and turn building a regular sandcastle into
an art form..
[Music] El Christo De Las Pescadores Memorial translates to "Christoph the fisherman" is
located on South End of the island at the Isla Blanca Park [Music]
[Music] Arguably, the quirkiest attraction on South Padre Island is the Wyland Wailing
Wall.
On the exterior walls of South Padre Island Convention Center are life size murals of
orca whales [Music]
[Music]
With Gulf of Mexico on the east side and Laguna Madre on the west shore, South Padre Island
has a magical golden hour both at dawn and dusk.
[Music] A Day on South Padre Island comes with a lot of sunbathing, some thrills and
plenty of swimming, but the fun doesn't end when the sun goes down.
The islands relaxed and carefree attitude channeled itself into an exciting night out
with a great range of bars to choose from.
[Music]
When visiting the South Padre Island, choose from dozens of restaurants ranging from takeout
casual to relaxed upscale fine dining.
Whichever restaurants you try, I strongly suggest focusing on fresh seafood and Mexican.
As with any beach town, you will find an array of places to stay.
South Padre Island has so many beach resorts and hotels.
We stayed in this beautiful La Copa inn hotel.
I have a separate video reviewing this beautiful hotel.
Thank you so much for watching.
