Padre Island is a beautiful barrier island getaway destination located just off Texas' southern Gulf of Mexico coast, best known as the home of the beautiful Padre Island National Seashore. Couples traveling to the island can explore the seashore's beautiful protected beaches, which are home to sheltered populations of endangered Kemp's ridley sea turtles. The park's beaches are the world's longest stretch of undeveloped barrier island beach, stretching for over 70 miles. Lovely Grasslands Nature Trail meanders through the island's marsh-filled interior, while Padre Balli Park offers surf breaks on the island's northern end. Fishing is popular at Bob Hall Pier, which stretches into the gorgeous Gulf of Mexico.
