What about a family vacation to South Padre during spring break?

South Padre Island is a great destination for families. There are many beach houses, condos, and vacation rentals that will ONLY rent to family visitors and do not rent to college spring breakers. Families can come down and enjoy surfing lessons, fishing, parasailing, snorkeling, scuba diving, and many more of the exciting activities that South Padre Island has to offer without having to worry about being in the middle of the party scene.

Family Friendly Spring Break

While spring break is a popular time of year for college aged kids to flock to the Island, the crowds will remain fairly isolated at the few spots on the Island where the events are going on. Most of the party scene is concentrated at Coca -Cola beach at the Isla Grand during the day and at the night clubs late at night. These areas can be easily avoided for people that want to come to the Island but not be in the middle of a big party scene. If you are worried about the traffic, rest assured that the traffic for the most part will be extremely light in the morning and will keep flowing throughout the day. The weekends before and after Texas Week can see some pretty heavy traffic in the late afternoon and late at night - but the rest of the time is not a problem.

A growing number of Island hotels and condominiums are catering to families during spring break. Here is a list of places to stay on the Island that does not rent to spring breakers and will have a family friendly atmosphere.
