Let’s party in South Padre Island, Texas. Spring Breakers flock to this beach community every year and can experience all the fun in the sun activities they want for their spring break vacation.
Southern hospitality gets set aside for one month when South Padre Island increases its population with students from all over the country. Located between beautiful beaches and blue water, Mexico lies just 30 miles away. If you want to venture into Mexico it will cost you a whole 25 cents to cross the border and another 35 cents to come back. (Expensive I know.) Across the border is a market where your bargaining skills will come in handy. Of course the legal drinking age in Mexico is 18, so if you cross the border to go party and drink use caution when coming back into the US. If you are visibly intoxicated you could get arrested, and that would so not be worth it. While Mexico would be a great day trip, there are plenty of things to do on the island that will keep you busy.
South Padre is a water wonderland. And if you don’t like the beach they even have a water slide park that is another great day activity. While on vacation you can skydive, windsurf, horseback ride, shop, golf, play tennis, fish, rent go-karts, catch a movie or take a cruise. Visit the South Padre Island visitor’s center and be sure to ask about tours, sight-seeing trips and other activities on the island.
But lets be honest, crazy Texans and crazy college kids from across the country come here to party! There are tons of nightclubs and bars where you and your friends can compete to see who can charge the highest bar tab.
