South Padre Island, Texas

Welcome to the southernmost tip of Texas! This island is a far cry from rodeos and cowboys. Fiesta Sol is centrally located in South Padre, which offers a fantastic vacation experience and has a little something for everyone. Water sports, sky diving, shopping, golf and horseback riding are just a few of the activities you can enjoy.

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. This tropical resort area has 4 miles of beautiful sand beaches and is approximately 1/4 to 1/2 mile wide. And, since the water temperature is 70 degrees or better most months, Travelers can enjoy before and after summer beach time.

If vacationing during Spring Break party is for you, South Padre is host to a Texas-size party each year. And, for Spring Breakers that want to add a little international flavor to their vacation, South Padre Island is conveniently located about 30 minutes from the border of Mexico. Enjoy shopping at Matamoros, where you can barter for silver, leather and all types of goods. Because of the numerous side trips (day & night) to Matamoras, Mexico offered throughout the week, this desTANation is truly a "two nation vacation!"

South Padre's beaches are also popular year-round for families and retirees, who enjoy the abundant water sports, and the natural sanctuary of the Island's sand dunes and grasses, bird watching and sand-castle art.

At Fiesta Sol, you are sure to get a diverse vacation experience.
