South Padres Island at Spring Break

The pressure of the papers and exams of the last semester is finally over, and it’s time to celebrate!

Breezes are blowing and the umbrella drinks are waiting in the Caribbean. But what’s that you say? Maybe not on a poor college student’s budget?

South Padres Island, Texas, is not only much more affordable and accessible, but the town planners have been busy over the last year making it a safer, more lively, and more fun place to spend Spring Break.

South Padre is one of the hottest destinations every year for college students on Spring Break, and this year is no different. New sidewalks and bike lanes will make getting around South Padre easier and safer. And the new John L. Tompkins Park features a nautically-themed playground, basketball courts and a skate park.

Great new places to eat have popped up since last year, too. The ever-popular Daddy’s Seafood and Cajun Kitchen has expanded to fill up the whole block, with the restaurant now on the second floor and the main level the bar. The indoor-outdoor Painted Marlin Grille is still offering burgers, po’boys and glorious sunset views. Two new franchise options in town are Russo’s New York Pizzeria and Johnny Rockets.

Spring Break is officially around March 15th or so, but the fun is happening all month long on South Padre Island.

Ultimate Music Experience, the dance music festival, is on this year for March 15 through 18. Clayton’s Beach Bar is the host, and rest assured that their free beach parties will continue during the daytime. A second party area is in front of Island Grand Beach Resort. The good news: both parties are sponsored by competing energy drinks, so you will be able to keep your energy up for the long haul.
