The WAVE is the FREE shuttle system serving South Padre Island and Port Isabel. There are a number of convenient WAVE stops in both communities, however, you can also just go near the street and wave when one is approaching! Normal hours are 7am-7pm (extended hours during the summer). The buses are equipped with wheelchair lifts (ADA Accessible) and bicycle racks. It's a great, free way to get from one place to another or just sit back and see the entire area!
