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

April 5, 2022 Toi Mattera

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!

Spent a good amount of our visit here. Wonderful layout with informational bird blinds for visitors. Saw many new birds for us. A special treat was the viewing tower. We could have spent most of our time up there. Also, the indoor area had very informative displays pertaining to wildlife and geography. We saw the baby alligators fed. We attended every day of our visit as it seemed new each time. Will definitely return next visit. Take plenty of water to hydrate.
