BEACHGOER INFORMATION


ABOUT THE BEACHES OF SOUTH PADRE ISLAND

South Padre Island is known for having the most beautiful beaches in Texas. In contrast to the other beaches along the Texas coast, the sparkling clear blue green water and gently sloping sand beaches of South Padre Island more resemble those of the Carribean. Being as far south as you can go in the United States, you'll find our weather to be delightful year-round for your tropical beach vacation. With our mild coastal climate - you can expect temperatures in the summer to average in the mid 80s and in the mid 60s in the winter. Water temperatures in the summer are typically 80-85 degrees. Water sports and beach activities occur year round on South Padre Island.

BEACH ACCESS

One of the most welcoming aspects of the Texas Coast is due to the Texas Open Beaches Act, which makes every inch of the coastline public beach. There is no charge for pedestrian beach access. Parking is free along Gulf Blvd. To help promote accessibility, the City of South Padre Island has 24 specified public beach access points, 18 of which are handicap accessible by use of mobi mats or cross walks. Seaside Circle Beach Access #6, Surf Circle Beach Access #7, Bouganvilla Circle Beach Access #14, and Aquarius Circle Beach Access #18, and Isla Blanca Beach Park are also wheelchair accessible.

The city has Mobichairs available which are amphibious wheelchairs that are capable of being used in the beach and water, allowing those in need to enjoy both the sand and the surf. To check out a mobichair please contact the South Padre Island's Fire Department at (956) 761-3040.

In addition, the City of South Padre Island also has handicapped accessibility transportation. Island Metro is a free shuttle that meets ADA requirements and is equipped with wheelchair lifts to accommodate easy accessibility to handicapped passengers. View Island Metro route and schedule.
