South Padre Island, Texas

Didn't do much or stay to too late as we had other places to visit... the drive over from Harlingen wasn't bad though and it was nice to see the seashore not completely hidden by scores of new housing/condos. ha!

This is picture from Sam's Town where they have a waterfall show in afternoon.
