WEEKEND GUIDE TO SOUTH PADRE ISLAND If I have seen one of the cleanest and the widest most beautiful beach in Texas in past 15 years of my travel in various cities of Texas, it is undoubtedly the South Padre Island. The drive from Houston to South Padre Island is approximately 8 hours, perfect for a long weekend gateway. We decided to go to the Padre Island just a day before the memorial day long weekend, so we got the rooms a bit expensive than its actual value. I would highly recommend comparing the room rates on various sites on the internet before you leave.

For this particular blogpost, I have simply focused on the everyday life and random shots of people that I was able to capture on my iPhone. Yeap, just iPhone. So, if you are looking for best cities to visit and best places to eat with high resolution fancy images, you've come to the wrong place. Sit back and simply scroll through each photo where I have tried to describe each moment that was captured on my phone. Food is the main business here!
