The Island is home to new Sea Turtle Inc. facility - an educational research and rehabilitation facility dedicated to the preservation of sea turtles and the conservation of the marine environment world wide. They offer daily guided tours where you’ll see various species of sea turtles including the Kemp's Ridley, Green, Hawksbill, Loggerhead, and other species of endangered sea turtles that have been rescued from the wild and are being rehabilitated. If you visit South Padre Island during the months of April through mid July you could watch for nesting Sea Turtles or even attend a hatchling release where you’ll see hundreds of tiny baby sea turtles making their way out to the water for the first time. This is truly a spectacular experience and makes for a great photo opportunity. 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. The birding center is also a great spot to see the Island’s colorful array of butterflies. The sand dunes north of city limits is a unique 30 mile undeveloped stretch of beach where visitors can see South Padre Island in it’s natural state - a place where you can truly step back in time and see the Island as the early explorers once saw and described it. It is one of the few beaches in the United States where you can find such solitude, a perfect place for a quiet stroll down the beach, a great place for both sunning and shelling, viewing our stunning sunsets over the Laguna Madre bay, and a breathtaking peaceful sparkling night sky. While South Padre Island weather boasts a subtropical climate year round, there are four distinct tourism seasons here on the Island. SUMMER - Plan your summer vacation at South Padre Island, the Best Beach in Texas! Summer weather on the Island is warm but not as hot as inland, with a refreshing breeze off the Gulf of Mexico. Usually small waves with our turquoise blue water temperature in the 80's makes for very enjoyable swimming. We all have different ideas about the perfect beach vacation. South Padre Island offers activities and attractions for all interests, from fishing to sky diving, dolphin watch tours or the new Sea Turtle Center. An Island favorite activity might be to "hang ten" in a surfing lesson with South Padre Surf Company, or perhaps a sand castle building lesson. Go into the deep blue sea on a fishing charter, or saddle up for a horseback ride down the beach. South Padre Island is Texas best beach vacation destination that is fun for the whole family!FALL - Fall is our favorite season! The weather on the Island is still summer-like, but the summer crowds have vanished. Hotels are far cheaper in the fall and offer great deals, and you'll have the beach to yourself especially on weekdays. Fall fishing season is also the most productive. Its also the best time to explore the 30 miles of open undeveloped beaches north of the hotels, with tall sand dunes and incredible sunrise or sunset views over the Gulf and Laguna Madre. With big savings, empty beaches, and a tropical atmosphere it's the best time to visit South Padre Island! WINTER - With temperatures mostly in the 60's and 70's, South Padre Island is a great escape from the raw frigid cold of the rest of the country. Many "Winter Texans" spend months at a time here. Several beach from RV parks accomodate travelers, and you'll find great deals on extended stay lodging. There are many activities and events that are geared specifically for the enjoyment of our Winter Texans. The beaches on South Padre Island are perfect for strolling and collecting shells, surf fishing, or simply setting up a chair and umbrella and watching the waves roll in. SPRING - Spring Break at South Padre Island was once a major event throughout the month of March. However, in recent years the crowds have greatly diminished. In fact the only time you will even notice is the second weekend of Texas Week when most of the events or spring break concerts happen. Even then it is confined to certain areas. There are no longer traffic jams or long waits on the causeway. Unfortunately, South Padre will live with the reputation of years past until people realize that period in our island history is over. So, if you are wondering if its safe to bring your family for spring break, yes it is! Easter and Semana Santa is also busy time here, with many visitors from Mexico. Weather in the spring is warming into the 70's and 80's, with water temps generally in the 70's.
