South Padre Island, Texas is a further island further south than Galveston and very shut to the border of Mexico. This island also has a enjoyable atmosphere and numerous outlets for you to pay a visit to and hotels to remain in. Anyone shopping to surf in Texas that is currently professional in the sport will want to strongly think about taking their coastal surf excursion in South Padre. The beaches in South Padre get pleasure from eight-twelve foot waves year round, and up to 15 foot waves in tropical storm conditions.
