What is there to do in South Padre Island the week of Christmas for a family?|165833

We have three kids (14,9,2 years old) and are coming to South Padre for Christmas. What are some amazing things we can do that time of year? And what are the good food places?

Well, the beach will still be nice for walking and playing -- the average high is around 69 degrees, so you might not want to be in your swimsuits, but you can still sit quite comfortably and have a picnic!

Other than that, the kids might like the Turtle Rescue Center or the Island Equestrian Center (you can take horse rides along the beach!) There_s also Port Isabel Lighthouse nearby, which could be a fun excursion, and Schlitterbahn Water Park, if it_s a warm enough day.

Have a look at IgoUgo.com_s South Padre Island page -- there are reviews and candid photos on all of the activities I just mentioned above (plus several more).

As for food, there are a ton of good places to eat: South Padre Island Brewing Company is popular for burgers, there_s Scampi_s for seafood, and people like the Bayside Bar and Grille and Lost Galleon. You_ll find reviews on these places here:

Hope that helps a little -- have a fantastic time!

I_ve never been to the Island for Christmas but is a great place to go. I love it there. Hopefully it will be warm enough to enjoy the beach!!!!!!!!
There is a 2 hour dolphin watch your children may enjoy.
