Things To Do
Port Isabel Lighthouse State Historical Park
A noteworthy stop on your trip, the lighthouse makes for dreamy views of the Laguna Madre area. Open from 9am-5pm.
Sea Turtle, Inc.
We love Sea Turtle Inc.! With the new expansion project complete, you can spend an afternoon learning all about the coastal inhabitants of this area.
Isabel's Cafe
If you find yourself up early for breakfast, Isabel's Cafe is a must. This quaint restaurant is home to some of the most delicious breakfast tacos in town!
South Padre Island Dolphin Watch
There are a few different dolphin watch companies on the island, but this is our favorite! Weather permitting, you are able to see some friendly dolphins.
Los Tortugo's Seafood Market
Los Tortugos has some amazing seafood cocktail! Stop by on your way to walk on the beach and take it as a light lunch. The chips are as fresh as the seafood! Emily's personal favorite is the shrimp cocktail with a bit of spice!
South Padre Island Birding And Nature Center
This tranquil birding center is THE place to see the gorgeous fall sunset. Bring some friends and turn it into a photo-op!
Blackbeards'
This restaurant is an island staple! Try some of the fresh shrimp or fish for a taste of SPI seafood.
Gravity Park
This has been a date-night stop for us since we were in high school! Gravity Park is located right next to Louie's Backyard, a classic establishment for drinks and fresh seafood. After dinner, walk over to Gravity Park for some go-karts, or take the plunge (literally) and ride the Skycoaster!
Yummies Bistro
Visit Yummies for an incredibly brunch/lunch! If you like a sweeter breakfast, be sure to pair your pancakes with some bubbly!
