Looking for adventure
For the thrill-seekers in the family, we suggest a parasailing session. Something no one ever mentions is the awesome aerial views of the causeway, the Laguna Madre Bay, and the South Padre Island skyline. Parasailing is just something you have to experience yourself. But if heights are not your thing, there are plenty of other exciting (or relaxing) options. Check out Things To Do on South Padre Island.
