With miles of pristine shorelines, perfect year-round weather, and lively dining and nightlife scene, Texas’ best beach, South Padre Island, is a popular destination for travelers seeking a tropical getaway. But the sun, sand, and sea aren’t just reserved for vacationers. Meeting planners love South Padre Island’s setting and accommodations for events of all sizes. They also appreciate the Island’s tropical backdrop, as it lures attendees who are excited to hit the beach while learning, networking, and growing their organizations.
The only tropical island in Texas, South Padre Island is easily accessible by land and air. Your attendees will check a few things off their bucket list while learning team-building skills they can take back to the office. Groups can zip-line or ride horses on the beach with coworkers.
Their adrenaline will be pumping with a variety of activities, including parasailing. If catching waves, snorkeling, or even kayaking gets your group’s blood pumping, South Padre Island is the perfect place! There are more than half a dozen activities that will have attendees connecting, all while enjoying our amazing Laguna Madre Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.
South Padre Island is situated between Laguna Madre Bay to the west and the Gulf of Mexico to the east.
Beware, on South Padre Island, wearing a tie isn’t just frowned upon. It’s actually banned. Declaring that ties are “detrimental to the welfare of the island,” the City Council officially decreed in 1997 that they be “banished from our land and waters forever.” This is all in good fun, of course – the “no tie” ordinance has yet to be enforced – but it’s in keeping with the island’s laid-back, informal atmosphere. In a place where relaxation is encouraged, and flip-flops and shorts are considered formal wear, there’s simply no need for buttoned-up business attire.
In your mind, you’re already here. Choose from a wide selection of beach and bayside hotels and vacation rentals, all perfectly situated to help you explore the Island’s activities and attractions. Mild, semi-arid weather means lots of sunny days, with an average annual temperature of 74 degrees. Take a sandcastle lesson from some of the best sand artists in the state!
