South Padre Island

We made it to the South Padre yesterday and are impressed with the county park campground and the island. The campground is huge, but the sites are adequate and we have full hook-up including cable TV. We are right next to the beach with the Laguna Madre on the other side. There is a long causeway connecting Point Isabel to South Padre Island and both sides have a touristy feel to them with resorts and restaurants and shops.
We can ride our bikes to town and on toward the north end of the island where the road ends after about twelve miles. Nothing but dunes and water just outside of town. This place is reminiscent of the Florida panhandle or certain parts of the keys.

We drove to the end of the highway north on the Island. About twelve miles from our campground. Nothing but sand and water
