South Padre Island Travel Tips
South Padre Island travel tips courtesy of GeckoGo
- This is essentially the Cancun for American college kids who are 21. Spring break is your classic girls gone wild environment. I went there off season to take advantage of the wind to kite surf. Very steady, 15-35 knots, with lots of opportunity for down-winders either on the flat or ocean side. … • Toryalai H.
- The best time to go is when it doesn't snow . . . wait, it hadn't snowed in 109 years until the week we were down there! Maybe you'll have better luck that we did. • Tara S.
- A city near of Port Isabel, in the USA. Its a usual place for the people from Monterrey and other northmexican cities to go, also for American spring breakers. • Glen Z.
