Beat The Sand On An Active Vacation In South Padre Island

By James Harden


Although South Padre Island off the Texas coast has long been a fishing haven, there's a lot here for almost everyone: several of the best beaches in America are located here (in reality, the beaches of South Padre Island are recognized within the top ten within the country). South Padre Island beach vacation rentals close to the shore and a host of other activities are available at reasonable rates around the low tourism period, making it one of the most appealing locations to explore.

Fishing trips supplied by knowledgeable fishermen frequently sail out into the gulf to bury their hooks into the prosperity of marlin, mahimahi and shark. Rates for angling excursions fluctuate, but generally run between $450 and $500 for a half-day and $800-$1200 for a full day - plus boats will carry up to eight people.

Along with outstanding saltwater fishing, there is also deer and bird hunting in specified areas, as the island is resident to large quantities of game surrounding the cabin rentals and vacation bungalows.

Leisure activities to do with the whole family near South Padre Island costal bungalows and other holiday dwellings include cycling, fine dining, bird watching and numerous festivals and extra proceedings all year long. You can even go bungee jumping if you like.

If you are athletic in your inclinations, you'll have to click on to http://www.unlimitedsportsadventures.com/ , website of the USA Surf 'n' Turf Adventure Race. This annual episode is one in which teams of two compete in a swimming race, a foot race plus a bicycle race.

September is another eventful month for visitors. It begins with the Fireworks Over The Bay SPI Beach Volleyball Tournament, located on the South Padre Island Convention & Visitors Bureau and Boomerang Billy's Beach by the Surf Motel. Anybody and everybody are welcome at this festivity, and with a cash purse at stake, should not be missed. The subsequent weekend celebrates South Padre Island's yearly catamaran race, the Ruffrider Regatta. Go to http://www.ruffrider.net/ on the internet to find out details.

Motorcyclists can delight in the South Padre Island Bikefest, held over Columbus Day weekend. Along with food stalls and live performance, there are camping facilities.

For the more arty there's the chance to enjoy the International Sand Sculpture Competition, held in mid-October. Any artist is welcome to partake in this competition, both amateur and professional.
