Top 8 Shopping in South Padre Island, Texas (TX)
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.

Loved this place. Such a pleasure to go in a shop that is not stuck in the 80's like everything else on this island. Staff are friendly, easily i found something to bring home from my vacation. Some things a little pricy.

This Market was small, but the vendors were all very friendly and helpful. We purchased some fresh vegetables, raspberry picked beets, pecan butter, great feta cheeses etc. Enjoyed out visit and would return next time at Padre Island.
