South Padre Island Discount Bookings with Accommodation Philadelphia

My wife and I loved our short getaway to South Padre Island. We have family friends here in the Houston area that have recommended us to visit for years, and we finally listened. We are so glad we did. After years of just visiting nearby Galveston Island, we were ready for a better beach in Texas. We definitely found a new spot for a great beach! Some of our favorite spots on the island were Karma Coffee, Yummies Bistro, Lobo Del Mar, Sea Ranch, and Isla Tours (Dolphin Cruise... A MUST!!!) Getting around the island was a piece of cake.

Fun place with amazing beaches for Texas! Lots of sunshine! Beautiful turquoise waters, great sandy beaches and lots of fun bars and restaurants on the beach and on the main drag. Hotel options are pretty endless with beach access, great outdoor pools and amenities. Pick careful because some of the Hotels are in need of TLC!

This was our 2nd visit. We also went four years ago, but a couple of weeks earlier (mid-Jan instead of early Feb). We live in MN and like the warmer temps for a winter break. We did many of the same things we did in our last visit - sunrise walks on the beach, beach combing, Turtle Inc, Bird & Reptile Sanctuary, great meals in the restaurants, sunsets on the lagoon, shopping. We also enjoyed the park on the south end of the island and went on the dolphin watch tour (Original Dolphin Watch and ECO tour). Both were very enjoyable. It's fairly quiet on the island in Jan & Feb before spring break and hotels are more affordable. Temps are great for upper midwesterners.

We visit S Padre Island every year and totally enjoy the area. You can visit the turtle rescue and bird sanctuary. See dolphins by the fishing pier and walk the beach as far as you want to. Dog friendly beach and motel.

I was there in January. There were a lot of restaurant choices. Many of the bars and restaurants had live entertainment and drink/food specials everyday. There are a lot of golf cart and bicycle rentals available which is great if you don't have a car to get around. I stayed in a place that was close to the beach and could walk to many different places. Lobos Del Mar had great food, entertainment and an awesome location to watch the sunsets and go for a Ferris Wheel ride. Clayton's is great!! It's a must if you like sitting in the sun listening to live music and visiting with friendly people. I found a great little place on the beach to have breakfast at the Palms called Cafe on the Beach. Try it, you will really like it!

Might have been a great place twenty years ago but it looked tired and worn out. Really pitiful. They had gutted the pool and Jacuzzi so if the winds weren't blowing 40 mph we would have enjoyed a hot tub. Especially since our room didn't have hot water. We took REALLY fast showers!
