Hubs and I are visiting for Halloween and the first week of November- looking for recommendations for adult Halloween activities/ Dia De Los Muertos / child free events. How’s the water this time of year?
Any tips appreciated!

Considering trip for Christmas 2026 week (12/19 to 12/26) in South Padre Island. Give me any pros/cons, recommendations, what to stay away from, etc. This will be myself and my husband, maybe a hot tub, relaxing, good food, just a low-key trip focused on us time.

Hello everybody. Does anyone know how the surf is currently? I visited access #5 last weekend and the water was up to the attendant huts where you pay. Hoping the water has receded a bit for this weekend. Thanks.

Is there a company that provides beach side picnics? I've reached out to a couple by phone but haven't been able to reach anyone.

What do locals do around here for night life when it’s quiet around here? Any local card clubs?

What's the best way to see what local events are happening in the area (as far potentially traveling to Brownsville)?

Hello, I have never been to South Padre Island, but we are trying to venture to new places around the US for spring break (not college, just my 16 year old and myself). I just had some questions before determining where we are going to be for spring break.

1. How busy is it down there at the end of March into Early April?
2. What are the beaches like?
3. What resorts do you recommend that aren't bedbug havens, gross, out dated? We like resorts with amenities like nice pools, bars, and right on the ocean.
4. Is there a huge presence of college students and a party scene?
5. What restaurants do you suggest (I love shrimp and she will eat sushi)?
6. What attractions do you suggest?
7. How is the shopping?
8. What amusement parks are nearby?

Thanks for your help!! I appreciate all of your help and suggestions!!!

Anyone know what Barry Patel did good or
Bad when he was mayor? City Council seems to be a bit of a mess as the election is getting closer and I’d like to hear whether Patel would do a better job of leading the council than McNulty.

I’m fairly new to the beach and the area and will be visiting for a week. I see on the forecast that it looks like rain on quite a few days. would it be wise to still make the 12 hour trip or cancel? what is the weather generally like when it’s supposed to rain like that? much appreciated for any help of suggestions!

Like the title says, any hotel recommendations for next weekend

We’re getting married in SPI in November and because we have some deaf family members, we’d like to hire an interpreter. Can anyone recommend somebody?

Hello! My friend and I (both 23 F) are in town for the week and are trying to find where the mid 20 somethings are around here? Any advice on where to go for a fun night out would be much appreciated :)!!

How would I get to SPI from Austin? Is it worth the trip without a car?

I have a week vacation planned next week and I’m debating on camping at a closer state park for the whole week, or staying in SPI at a hotel/motel for 1-2 days instead
