Nestled up against the southern coast of Texas, South Padre Island is the longest barrier island in the world.

The island caters to visitors interested in a luxurious vacation as well as to those who want to unplug and lose themselves in nature; the south end of the island is home to a busy resort town full of spas, restaurants and shops.

Breathtaking beaches can be found on almost every part of the island, ensuring plenty of opportunities to surf, sunbathe, and swim in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
