South Padre Island is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the state of Texas. Not only is SPI well known for its fine restaurants and clubs, but also for its natural beauty. The World Birding Center located on South Padre Island is 50 acres of intertidal flats, native shrubs, and trees that are the first stop for the birds making the cross Gulf migration from Mexico and Central America. Warblers, tanagers, orioles, and thrushes are common to the wooded areas while the wetland areas are host to waterfowl, shorebirds, and even the endangered species of brown pelican, piping plover, and peregrine falcon. South Padre Island is famous for being a spring break destination. Hotels will fill up with college kids, often several to a room.
Constant trade winds along the Sir Francis Drake Channel make for ideal sailing conditions, while the secluded beaches, incredible vistas, and friendly inhabitants make the islands a wonderful place to visit. Browse the many small shops, enjoy a drink at a harbour cafe, or simply relax on the spectacular beach at Cane Garden Bay. Their friendly staff is dedicated to making your visit relaxing and enjoyable. We can arrange activities such as sailing, boat rentals, snorkeling, fishing, horse riding, tennis, rental cars, and massages. The ease of accessibility for divers visiting the islands with their own sailboat or powered charter yacht and the invention of ‘rendez-vous diving’, have made the British Virgin Islands unique in the diving world. The north coast of Tortola has some fabulous bays, such as Cane Garden Bay and Brewers Bay, which are protected by boulder-strewn barrier reefs.
