Fun in the Sun in South Padre Island, Texas
South Padre, Texas USA
This TEXAS star is such a vibe and #SoPadre! South Padre Island is a great tropical getaway on the Texas Gulf Coast, here’s why. #TexasToDo #LetsTexas
You’ll naturally become a birder visiting the South Padre Island Birding, Nature Center & Alligator Sanctuary, one of nine World Birding Center sites located within the lower Rio Grande Valley. Boardwalks lead you through the tidal wetlands to spy on cool birds 🐦 and you’ll find great views of Laguna Madre Bay from the top of the watchtower. @spibirding
Clayton’s Pier is a classic SPI hangout and the biggest beach bar on the Texas coast. Loved watching the waves crash on the sand and people watch. 🏖️
The highlight? Seeing remote parts of the island horseback riding on the beach! 🐎 Feeling the wind in my hair, seeing views of sand dunes on my left and the Gulf coast waters on the right was such an adventure! @southpadreislandadventures
Wild to find the end of the road where sand dunes cover the pavement and stop you in your tracks. 🚘
Nothing like a fried shrimp basket with a view at Cafe on the Beach. 🦐
It was fun to meet some local artists at the Art District and learn about a special residency program. 🎨
The Dolphin Watch cruise is a wonderful way to get on the water. Seeing dolphins play in the wild is just magic. 🐬 @breakawaycruises
So special to see sea turtles up close at the largest enclosed sea turtle hospital in the world! Sea Turtle, Inc. rehabilitates turtles and releases them back into the wild. I want to come back this summer to see the turtle hatchlings make their way back to the water. 🐢 @seaturtleinctx

Horseback Riding on the Beach
It’s a happy day when you get to go horseback riding on the beach! Take me back! 🐎 #SoPadre#TexasToDo #LetsTexas
I’ve been to the beach. 🏖️ I’ve been horseback riding. 🐴 I’ve been to Texas. But to do it all at the same time was just MAGIC. ✨
Feeling the wind in my hair, seeing views of sand dunes to my left and the Gulf Coast waves on the right, getting to explore a remote section of the island, it was an experience I won’t soon forget. 💗
The adventure begins where the sand dunes swallow the pavement. It’s literally the end of the road. There were no hotels or beach bars or beach chairs here, just me, my horse Trigger, my guide, our adventure pals, and nature! Love exploring the road less traveled.
And can you imagine horseback riding at sunset?!? I will be back!
Tag someone you’d like to do this with!! 💗
