Locals perspective of exploring and experiencing South Padre Island Texas, an awesome beach vacation getaway. Endless fun happens here, surfing, kiteboarders, windsurfing, sailing, fishing or just lazing on the beach. Amazing sunrises over the gulf of Mexico and sunsets on the bay. Kids and adults love the world famous sandcastle building events. Fish on the bay, off the piers and jetties or even offshore for the big ones, fun for the whole family. Birdwatch on the bayside or enjoy the incredible Turtle Inc experience. Plan a trip to SpaceX starship rocket launch pad just across the ship channel, get up close....really close, to the amazing boosters and rockets that will take a trip to space, the moon and mars. After a full on day of fun, check out our local dining and nightlife scene. Make it yours. Get involved, jump in the ocean, surf, sail & swim. Get some positive energy for free. Increase your stoke and be a part of the Whats up cats team on beautiful South Padre Island.
