About South Padre Island

South Padre Island is a barrier island at the southern tip of Texas, with wide Gulf beaches, shallow lagoons, dolphins and sea turtles.

South Padre Island is a narrow barrier island at the southern tip of Texas, a short distance from the Mexican border, with the Gulf of Mexico on one side and the shallow Laguna Madre on the other. A causeway crosses the lagoon from Port Isabel, a small fishing town with a lighthouse of the 1850s that can be climbed, and the beach runs for miles of pale sand.
