Most people associate South Padre Island with spring break, but it is still a great beach destination the other 51 weeks of the year. Thanks to South Padre’s mild weather, calm seas, and an average of 300 days of sunshine, you can do just about anything you want, all year long. If your idea of fun is a little less adventurous, there are calmer activities you can enjoy, such as visiting the islands, nature centers, wildlife refuges, or walking on one of the many boardwalks.

Here are 10 Things To Do in South Padre Island texas
Port Isabel Lighthouse.
Port Isabel Lighthouse is one of the 16 lighthouses originally constructed along the Texas coast and the only one open to the public. It is a popular site for photographers and visitors. If you climb the 75 winding stairs and three short ladders, you will have great views of South Padre Island and the beaches. The lighthouse has long been a prominent landmark on the southern tip of the Texas Gulf Coast. Its heavy brick walls have enabled it to withstand the elements for more than a century.
Sea Turtle, Inc.
Don’t miss the chance to visit the renowned Sea Turtle, Inc. The facility itself serves as a hospital for sick and injured sea turtles. Each year, they rescue and rehabilitate over 100 sea turtles with the goal of returning them to the wild. Sea Turtle, Inc. was founded in 1977, by Ila Fox Loetscher, better known as the “Turtle Lady of South Padre Island.”
Laguna Madre Island Trail.
The Laguna Madre or Mother Lagoon Nature Trail is a 1.1 mile (1.8 km) loop trail on a 1,500 foot (457.2 meters) boardwalk that crosses 4 acres (1.6 hectares) of marshland. It offers scenic views of the lagoon and is used for nature walks and birding.
Isla Blanca Park.
Isla Blanca Park is located on the southernmost tip of South Padre Island and is the crown jewel of the park’s system. Within the park, there is over a mile of pristine beach along the Gulf of Mexico. Also within the park are many recreation amenities available for a wide range of outdoor activities.
Dolphin Research and Sea Life Center.
The Dolphin Research and Sea Life Research Center is located next to the Port Isabel Lighthouse. Their mission is to educate the public regarding the wild bottlenose dolphins, native to Laguna Madre Bay and South Padre Island, in addition to promoting public support for the wildlife of the area.
Sandy Feet sandcastle lessons.
Next time you go to the beach, impress beachgoers with your amazing sand sculpting. On South Padre Island, you can get professional private or group instruction from Sandy Feet Sand Castle Services. They work with all ages and skill levels and all tools are provided, with some you can take home.
Schlitterbahn Beach Waterpark.
The Schlitterbahn Water Park is a 25 acre (10.1 hectares) park, with two dozen world-class attractions, such as 13 indoor and outdoor water slides, river systems where you can float along, a surfing ride, body slide, tidal wave river, uphill water coaster, Lily Pad wading pool and Pirates Cove for children, swim-up cocktail area, a seaside pool, and of course, beaches. Thrill levels range from low speed to aggressive.
The South Padre Island Birding and Nature Center.
This is Rio Grande Valley’s top destination for birdwatching and an ideal place to observe butterflies and natural wildlife in coastal South Texas. You can walk down the boardwalks; take a birding tour, and experience the nature center. The butterfly garden is full of fluttering visitors from summer to late fall, when the Monarchs arrive.
Wyland Whaling Wall Number 53/
The magnificent, enormous, life-size paintings of orca whales on South Padre Island Convention Center are part of the worldwide campaign Wyland’s Walls, organized by the renowned painter Wyland and the Wyland Foundation, who had the goal of completing 100 life-size marine murals in public places around the world. They completed their goal in 2008 after 27 years.
Skydiving.
There is probably no greater adrenaline rush than jumping from a perfectly good airplane flying at 11,000 feet. The views of South Padre Island and the ocean are certainly spectacular, but once you jump, for about 60 seconds you are falling at speeds of almost 150 miles per hour and you do not have the time to take in the view.
