WHAT TO VISIT IN (SOUTH) PADRE ISLAND

South Padre Island is mainly a beach-resort destination. It offers a wide range of opportunities for fishing, sailing, golf, bird watching (especially during Spring and Fall migrations), dolphin watching and water sports.

The island offers also excellent opportunities for seafood.

BEST TIME TO VISIT PADRE ISLAND

Padre Island weather is subtropical in summer, with average temperatures of 90ºF (32ºC). Summer is undoubtedly the most popular vacation season.

Winter temperatures may drop to the 50ºF (10ºC) in some days, but in most of them temperatures are well above. This region is a popular winter refuge for many North-Americans and a very popular destination for college students in Spring Break.

Spring and Fall are good months for a visit. The weather and temperatures are mild, but seawater temperatures aren't exactly the ideal for swimming.

Fall is an excellent period for those betting in fishing and in low hotel rates.

Spring and Fall are also the best seasons for bird-watching.


WHEN NOT TO GO TO PADRE ISLAND

Summer and the Spring Break two weeks (a college students period) aren't a good time for those who demand low hotel rates and non crowded places.

Winter is a relatively popular time, but if you want to fully enjoy Padre Island beach life, avoid winter. Sea-water temperatures aren't exactly the ideal for beach life.
