South Padre Island is a jewel on the Texas coast...except for during spring break.

It was really nice when the bridge was out. The traffic on the island was nearly nothing except for the shuttle vans. It was nearly a ghost town and I loved it that way. The shuttle service and ferry service was a wonderful way to travel and it was all free. There's also about 25 miles of undeveloped beach for camping and fishing. I'll tell ya about the day hubby and I caught 17 different kinds of fish in the surf if ya twist my arm a little.

Joe Sixpack I think, asked when the bridge was reopened. It was open around the first part of October last year.

Anyway, I hope the image produced by spring breakers doesn't stop anyone from visiting any other time of the year.

I remember when I was knee high and there was hardly anything on South Padre except the Sandy Retreat hotel and the Miramar, plus a few assorted beach houses and restaurants. I haven't been to South Padre in over 10 years. I'm sure it's nothing like I remember it.
