Cosmopolitan.com listed SPI in its 100 Hot-City Guide highlighting various Island locations within selected categories. SPI’s signature October event, Sand Castle Days, was chosen as a “Need to Know” event.
BEST BAR
The Wanna-Wanna Beach Bar & Grill at the Island Inn is an open-air hut right on the beach. It’s fun for cold beers and a chill crowd. (5100 Gulf Blvd., South Padre Island; 956-761-7600) | DATE DESTINATION
Snag a table in the outdoor seating area at Scampi’s, so you can enjoy their famous Peanut Butter Shrimp with an unbeatable view of Laguna Madre. (206 W. Aries, South Padre Island; 956-761-1755) | HOTTIE SPOTTING
Tequila Frogs. This wild spring-break joint boasts cervezas, boys competing in boxer contests and theme parties. (205 W. Palm St., South Padre Island; 956-761-7522) | GIRLS' NIGHT OUT
Savor some desserts in the dining area at Louie’s Backyard before traipsing between its Sunset Bar and Lookout Bar for a night of cocktails and gossiping. (2305 Laguna Blvd., South Padre Island; 956-761-6406) | NEED TO KNOW
An annual event called "Sand Castle Days" takes place in late October, where amateurs and experts compete for cash prizes by building sand creations that you must see in person. Show off your bikini during a free sand castle lesson (sandcastledays.com). |
Condé Nast Traveler named South Padre Island as one of the World’s Top 30 Island Beaches, touting the Island as a No. 1 Spring Break destination.
South Padre Island, Texas
Safe swimming, Often crowded, Hotel, Cafés/bars, Natural shade | | 
| No wonder this barrier-island strand is America's number-one spring break party beach. It's plenty warm by March, and it's legal to drink beer from a keg on the beach.
Wow Factor: You don't need a college degree to recognize that the water here is as clear as any on the Gulf Coast.
Best Bed: The Sheraton is on the beach, with great views, although before making a reservation, ask how the construction work is going (956-761-6551; starwoodhotels.com; doubles, $199–$289). |
NBC’s Today show also provided a segment on the nation's popular beaches. "Although a premiere Spring Break hot spot", the Today show crew stated that South Padre Island has “lots of great family resorts for the rest of the year.”
“South Padre Island is gaining some well-deserved recognition, and the designations continue to attract tourists annually,” said Dan Quandt, executive director for the SPI Convention and Visitors Bureau. |
