Padre Island, National Seashore

Padre isles, located on the south Texas coast, are the longest undeveloped barrier island in the world. The seashore is home to migrating birds and several endangered species. Cool breeze, sand and surf makes it one ideal place for relaxation and recreation.

We visited the Sea Turtle Inc., a non profit sea turtle rescue center. We were fascinated to see different Turtle families and how the center took care of them saving the rare species from extinction.  Later in the day, we visited the Padre Island  Birding & Nature center . This center gives you an opportunity to board walk among the migrating birds. Fortunately, it was evening time and the birds were very active and out in the open. This birding center is totally worth visiting once if you visit Padre Island.

The next day, we spent the morning among the low tidal waves at North Padre beach and the evening at Isla Blanca County Park beach of South padre Island. The beaches are clean and water is beautiful. There are good changing stations along the beaches. These beaches were among the best beaches we have visited along the Gulf.
