Sea Life Safari |
Explore the shores of
Texas’ best beach, South Padre Island, for the ultimate family-friendly Spring
Break getaway. From action-packed water sports, to bay and deep sea fishing, to
engaging nature tourism attractions, and relaxing on the white, sandy beaches,
it’s no wonder South Padre Island was recently named one of the 10 best
destinations in Texas for families at Spring Break.
Here’s a preview of family-friendly
experiences this Spring Break season:
