South Padre Island

I have to say that it is really great to be a TEXAN. This state has so much to offer and so many places to see! I just returned from a great vacation in South Padre Island. If you have not been, you must go! This place is a wonderful tourist attraction and people come from all over the world to this fabulous island. It is on the very tip of south Texas...only 30 minutes from Mexico. Go and stay awhile! I have been 3 times and every time I go, the island gets better! They are building so many new hotels and condos that the island is really exploding ! The weather was great and the beach was even better. One day we even went dolphin watching. The boat took us out for almost 2 hours and we got to see so many dolphins. There was even 12 baby dolphins throughout the pods. They were so cute! It was great! The sunsets were amazing and so was the food. My favorites are Blackbeard's and Dirty Al's and then of course you have to try the amazing Italian Ice Cream Shops! Don't forget the world famous Wanna Wanna Beach Bar & Grill for a little cocktail to cool you down!
