10 Things to do Adventurous in South Padre Island That You Shouldn't Miss

November 23, 2021 Augustus Redeker

Right off the southern tip of Texas is the tropical paradise of South Padre Island. This barrier island on the Gulf of Mexico offers vacationers a sunny respite from the daily grind. Gaze at a magnificent sunset from the flats, laze on the white sandy beach or go deep sea fishing and cook your catch at Andy Bowie Park. Take a dolphin-watch tour, look for more than 300 species of birds at the South Padre Island Birding and Nature Center and dine on fresh Texas Gulf seafood.

We had an amazing time! This should be listed under things to do in South Padre instead of work shop and classes. I almost missed out because it wasn’t ranked under ‘Things to Do.’ It really is a fun thing to do with the family. Andy is a lot of fun, engaging and a great teacher of sand castle building. When you’re all done you actually have an amazing castle that your family built. The best part is we actually built another one on our own the following day. You don’t need to be super artistic to do this. Just pack a cooler and have fun with it!

Our Adventure Park is located at the end of State Park Road 100 with forty acres of land spanning from the Gulf of Mexico to the Laguna Madre Bay that provides an unparalleled location for Adventure on South Padre Island. Our horseback rides are along the beach and water's edge and we often see a variety of shoreline and marine life and we get to ride in the remote portion of the Island that few people get to experience. No crowds here! Our Petting Barn is filled with birds and animals we have rescued or have been donated to us for a forever home. Children can enjoy a safe and educational interaction with all of our birds and animals (us big kids too). Dolores also owns The Massage & Healing Arts Center and her licensed and professional Massage Therapists are ready for your pampered needs after a fun day at the beach. Come; make your memories with us! We love what we do and we look forward to exploring the Island with you soon. Doyle & Dolores Wells
