Town of South Padre Island

If you’re intending to travel to the town of South Padre Island during Spring Break time be advised that hotel rates and car hire rentals more than double as well as the influx of college kids make the town of South Padre Island a busy place to relax.

If you want to enjoy cheaper hotel rates as well as lesser crowds, I recommend traveling in April or May. This way you can avoid the high season in March and the high season months of summer.
