Enjoy South Padre Island year round...
South Padre Island is located on the southern tip of Texas just North of the Mexico border. This location has long been a favorite beach destination for many, boasting beautiful beaches, great fishing, and great entertainment. With an average summer temperature of 88 degrees and Gulf Coast water temperature of 80 degrees it's easy to see why this is such a popular beach destination.
Summer is not the only time to enjoy this vacation hot spot. Many find the winter months to be the best time for a truly relaxing vacation. The cooler months transform South Padre Island into a quaint small town, giving guests the opportunity to enjoy some peace and quiet.
Being located so close to the Mexico border tourists often find fun in crossing the border for some great shopping and dining experiences. Be sure to bring your passport though! If traveling over the border isn't your style, don't worry; South Padre Island is often thought of as an English-speaking Mexican resort.
South Padre Island is unique in the sense that most of the lodging on the island can be found in private condos and rental properties. While there are a few hotels on the island most visitors find that their experience is much more enjoyable when staying in a condo. Padre Getaways offers access to some of the most luxurious condo rentals on South Padre Island.
