South Padre Island, Texas’ only tropical island, is a barrier island along the gulf coast, located at its’ southernmost point, accessible via Queen Isabella Memorial Bridge. Boasting gorgeous beaches and year-round warm weather, the average high temps in October are in the mid-eighties.

There are three nearby airports. Click below for information on airport locations and transportation to and from the airports, and around the island in general: https://www.sopadre.com/plan/visitor-information/getting-here/

While the resort itself offers a heated pool, swim-up bar and live music daily, there are many off-resort activities for visitors as well.
