AREA INFO FOR SOUTH PADRE ISLAND

“Everything’s Big in Texas!” South Padre Island is located at the southern-most tip of Texas and hosts one huge Texas-sized Spring Break party every year! This tropical resort area, or the “Island”, as locals call it, is surrounded by the tranquil waters of Laguna Madre Bay on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other.

The five miles of award winning sand beaches come alive during Spring Break, running from the Holiday Inn Beach Resort (www.inertiatours.com headquarters hotel) north to Clayton’s Beach Bar Stage, hosting some of the most active and wildest events, proudly living up to the slogan “Everything’s Big in Texas!”

The tropical weather is perfect to compliment your favorite daytime activities. Jet skis, banana boat rides, parasailing, snorkeling and more are all available for rental. There are also plenty of beach volleyball games that are free and a fun way to meet other people.

The Spring Break Beach Stage at Clayton’s widely known as the number one daytime spring break hotspot, launching the “Beach Stage” which boasts a giant MTV style stage fueled by a 50,000 watt sound system. Daily contests including the famous Dance Contest, daily DJS from 11 am to 5 pm, and it is BYOB friendly just no glass – plus tons of giveaways attract crowds between 5,000 and 10,000 spring breakers. This massive venue also hosts some of the hottest acts of the moment, entertaining crowds courtesy of the Beach Bash Music Fest – Spring Break’s #1 concert and festival brand. On Mondays during the day is the infamous Infinity @ the Pool Party at Peninsula Island Beach Resort. It is 11 am to 6 pm – the $20 cover includes a Mexican buffet lunch and $3 margaritas plus the limbo contest, best belly flop contest, and resident DJ set up.

A host of clubs and bars also keep the party going after the sun sets including hosts nightly live concerts with top name national acts, bikini contests, DJs and dancing, bungee jumping, rock wall climbing, go carts, and more. Having been featured on MTV, E!, The Travel Channel, and more, this party spot is always jumping for Spring Break. Get the Inertia spring break Red Carpet VIP Party Package to get FREE entry into these clubs and events each and every night! Call them 800 821 2176.

Getting To “The Island” is easy whether you are flying or driving. If you choose to fly most people fly into Brownsville International Airport (BRO) or Harlingen Airport (HRL) which is located approx. 40 minutes away. They also have airport shuttles that travel back and forth regularly.

With the sheer volume of Spring Breakers flooding into this resort town, it’s not uncommon for entire bars and hotels to become hubs of Spring Break activity. In fact, the entire island can feel like an exclusive Spring Break party. See you in South Padre for Spring Break this year!

Best Spring Break Hotels:

South Padre Island offers a wide range of accommodation options to suit all budgets and preferences. Whether you're looking for beachfront resorts, cozy vacation rentals, or budget-friendly hotels, you'll find the perfect place to stay. Consider booking in advance to secure your ideal lodging, especially during the peak spring break season.

Be sure to double check the following when you book your spring break hotel:

“Refundable” Damage Deposit. These can run $25 to $100 per person due in cash at time of check in to $500 or $1500 per condo or room. This can cause A LOT of group fighting if not known prior to arrival.

Parking fees - $10 to $30 per day per car. Legit, but you have to ask.

“Occupancy Tax.” This is a big deal as it is 17% of the nightly rate. That can add a lot to your total overall cost.

Double check that they do NOT require everyone to be 21 years of age or even 25 years of age prior to arrival. This can mean NO refunds and NO check ins!

Best Spring Break Airbnbs

Please – get in WRITING before you book a spring break Airbnb from the host that they agree that you are college students under the age of 25. Do NOT hide this! They can steal your money and not check you in. Most require you to be 25 years of age.

Additionally – MOST if not ALL have a sneaky “refundable damage deposit” due of $500 to $1000 at time of check in. Good luck getting that back after check out no matter what Sneaky sneaky…they will bury in their rules that you must sign and agree to a rental agreement by all members in your group prior to check in in person. Then, you will notice all these new rules like you cannot make noise after 9 pm, 10 pm, or 11 pm and if you do, they can EVICT YOU WITH NO REFUND OR if the police are EVER CALLED same deal, evict no warnings, no refunds.

A very, very common scheme is two people have two nice houses next door to each other. What they do is that first night they each call the cops on the others house for “noise.” Mysteriously the owner “shows up” rental agreement in hand and guess what? Eviction. No refund. Ruined spring break trip.

Every year we see scores of students that didn’t really check out what they were booking. You are much better off using a local vacation rental company like www.SouthPadreTrips.com to book a condo or home direct if you do not want an all inclusive package like Inertia Tours has. They are one of the few agencies on the Island that allows students under 25 – yes they do have a refundable damage deposit but it is disclosed prior to booking and they actually refund you if no damages.

Best Spring Break Condos

Overall, contact Inertia Tours or South Padre Trips if you want a student friendly condo. It can get very sketchy just booking one an Airbnb or VRBO as the age restrictions and shady rental agreements can mean you lose money!

GETTING HERE

Getting to South Padre Island is a breeze, whether you're flying or driving. Most visitors opt to fly into Brownsville International Airport, conveniently located approximately 40 minutes away from the island or Harlingen Airport. Shuttle services are available to transport you to and from the airport.

If you are driving down to South Padre Island, REMINDER that when you turn off the freeway on the last leg of the last 25 miles in, you will approach on Highway 100 a small town well known for its speed traps – Los Fresnos. DO NOT SPEED by even 1 mile per hour over limits.

When you arrive to Port Isabel Texas the sister city to south padre just across the 2.5 mile bridge/causeway to the Island, stop for gas and to pee. Traffic can and WILL back up on Fridays, Saturday and Sundays to get onto the Island and once on the bridge, no where to pinch a loaf.
