There are many activities to choose from such as fishing, shelling, water sports, horseback riding, scuba diving, bird watching, turtle rescue and much more. Come and make your escape to South Padre Island!


Padre Island is a historically rich place. Starting out as the home for the Karankawa Indians and wildlife, everything changed once the Spaniards discovered this New World. The King of Spain gave the island to Nicolás Ballí, who passed it down to his posterity.


Eventually, Jose Nicolás Ballí became the first permanent resident of the island which was then called "Isla de Santiago". You can learn about his kindness, character, and journey when you book with us on your South Padre adventure.
