The 10 Best Things to do Good for Couples in South Padre Island, Texas (TX)

December 1, 2021 Misti Hsu

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!

When I saw Sand Castle Building lessons, I knew I was in! I just had to convince my husband and teenage son to try it with me. Lucinda was so easy to coordinate with, was very flexible even when booking months in advance, quick to respond to emails and gave great directions to her beach location. We did NOT know what we were doing and that didn’t scare her a bit! We all got so into the creating, time flew and yet it was blissfully still and zen-like. I was surprised it was only an hour that passed and we actually had a recognizable castle! People took pictures of our castle! Can’t recommend Lucinda and this experience enough. So fun!
