Do you have a favorite activity or attraction in South Padre Island that you think others will enjoy? If so, we'd like to hear about it, and I'm sure many of our other visitors will too. Please tell us about it.

To ensure good stories that follow the spirit of what this section is intended for, here are a few basic guidelines...

  2. Your story should be at least 300 words, ideally closer to 400 words. Submissions under 300 words will not be accepted. (If you follow the first guideline, 300 - 400 words should be a breeze.)
